During the night of February 19/20, 1942, the American-British-Dutch-Australian Command (ABDA) sent a squadron towards the island of Bali to investigate a Japanese naval presence. The Imperial Japanese Navy had just finished their amphibious landing, with most ships returning back to their base. Two destroyers remained, however. As ABDA's fleet sailed into the strait, it was one of the final opportunities for the Allies to repel the invading Japanese forces from the Dutch East Indies.
