Concerning the USS South Dakota and the night battle of Guadalcanal, it can be said that the ship survived the battle without the help of the Washington until the last moments when power was restored again. Washington sped up and went left, when the plan was to keep within sight as much as possible. Washington had the admiral on board, and took more orders from him than captain Glen. It was not poor performance, but great damage control while fighting off at least six ships. Washington of course was not visible to the enemy because of it's location farther away.
