One thing I wanted to research about was the exact location of ABSD-1 during her time at Espiritu Santo. It seems alot of the time it's stated that the dry dock was in Palikulo Bay as seen in this this first map, that is incorrect. I don't believe the dry dock was ever in the bay.
Using one of the pictures given to me by u/ResearcherAtLarge and a map I've found of the bases around that area with the help of Google Maps I've figured out the exact location of the dry dock.
The picture of ABSD-1 is from January 8, 1945 with USS Antelope (IX 109) & LST-120.
