Dada a iminência da derrota, o comandante interino da Frota do Pacífico da Marinha dos EUA, Vice-Almirante William Pye, chamou de volta a Força-Tarefa 14 com o USS Saratoga; a força havia sido originalmente despachada para reforçar Wake. Às 08:00, os americanos se renderam. Na Ilha Wilkes, os americanos tentaram um contra-ataque final, matando 100 soldados japoneses ao custo de 11 fuzileiros navais dos EUA mortos e 5 feridos.
