Tribal-class destroyers in a Guadalcanal night action

How might a squadron of Tribal-class destroyers have fared in a Guadalcanal night action?

Radar, zigzagging, close-range doctrine, and high gunfire volume would likely favor the Tribals, though capable Japanese night fighters could still inflict losses.

British zigzagging would reduce the effectiveness of long-range Japanese torpedo attacks, while surviving Tribal-class ships at that stage of the war would possess radar. Japanese doctrine aimed to disrupt formations with long-range torpedoes before closing, whereas British destroyers favored medium-range launches followed by an aggressive approach to close gun range. The Tribals' numerous fast-firing guns would be especially dangerous in that knife fight. Skilled Japanese crews could still inflict British losses, but the volume of Tribal gunfire might overwhelm them much as British destroyer fire overwhelmed German opponents at Narvik.
