About the Book

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 38. Chapters: Battle of Leyte, Battle off Samar, Battle of Leyte Gulf, Angels of Bataan, Philippines Campaign, Battle of Ormoc Bay, Battle of Mindoro. Excerpt: The Battle off Samar was the centermost action of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, one of the largest naval battles in history, which took place in the Philippine Sea off Samar Island, in the Philippines on 25 October 1944. As the only major action in the larger battle where the Americans were largely unprepared against the opposing forces, it has been cited by historians as one of the greatest military mismatches in naval history. Adm. William Halsey, Jr. was lured into taking his powerful 3rd Fleet after a decoy fleet. Thus only three escort carrier groups of the 7th Fleet remained in the area. A powerful Japanese surface force of battleships and cruisers that were thought to have been defeated and in retreat instead turned around unobserved and stumbled upon the northernmost of the three groups, Task Unit 77.4.3 ("Taffy 3"). Taffy 3's few destroyers and slower destroyer escorts possessed neither the firepower nor armour to effectively oppose armoured warships, but nevertheless desperately attacked with 5 in (130 mm)/38 cal guns and torpedoes. Aircraft from slow "jeep" carriers attacked mostly with bombs and depth charges largely ineffective against ships. Clifton Sprague's task unit lost two escort carriers, two destroyers, a destroyer escort and dozens of aircraft. Over a thousand Americans died, comparable to the combined losses of men and ships at the better known Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway. But in exchange for the heavy losses for such a small force, they sank or disabled three Japanese cruisers and caused enough confusion to persuade the Japanese commander, Vice Admiral Takeo Kurita, to regroup and ultimately withdraw, rather than advancing to sink...
