Kort over placeringen af skibsvrag i Ironbottom Sound

"Ironbottom Sound" er det navn som allierede søfolk gav Savo Sundet, farvandet mellem Guadalcanal, Savo Island og Florida Island i Solomonøerne på grund af det stor antal skibe og fly, som sank her. Dusinvis af skibe og fly sank under Slaget om Guadalcanal i 1942 og 1943. Inden krigen kaldtes det Sealark Sound. Ironbottom Sound udgør den sydlige del af The Slot.
