To find the coordinates I'll use the screen shots Armistead has posted.

Look on the clipboard and the first ship sunk is a Shokaku carrier.
Sunk at Long. 157° 58' E. Lat 9° 34' S.
That's 157 degrees 58 minutes. East Longitude. There are 60 minutes in a degree so that is almost 158° E. Look at the top of the map in the last SS.
The numbers across the top are degrees Longitude, find 158 and draw a line down the map. Next we have 9° 34' S lat. That is 9 degrees 34 minutes Latitude. 34 minutes is about a half a degree so fine the mid point between 9 and 10 ° on the right side of the map and draw a line across the map where the two lines cross are the coordinates for the sinking.

You can see the red ship sunk icon there just above the E in Solomon Sea.

Zero Degrees Latitude is the equator and the number goes up from there north and south. The poles are 180° north or south. He is just below the equator so the lat. is South 9 and a half degrees.

All the Xs on the map he put there to plot the course of the ships. He put an x every so many minutes, looks like once an hour or something like that.
