Merrill did not participate in the Battle of Kula Gulf, as indicated in the first paragraph of the Military career section of this page. The action known as the Battle of Kula Gulf occurred on July 5th, 1943. Merrill commanded the USN forces during an unnamed action exactly four months earlier, on March 5th. In this battle, Merrill's Task Force 68 sank two Japanese destroyers, in the vicinity of Kula Gulf. Also, I doubt he was the first admiral to use Radar in wartime, but I suspect he was the first to successfully engage and destroy an enemy force, using only radar fire control.
