Famous WW2 Quote
"I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil."General Douglas MacArthur at Leyte, 17 Oct 1944
8 Jun 2011 08:39:46 PM
The Japanese lost 26 ships during the Battle of Leyte Gulf Oct. 23-25th, 1944.
With the loss of ships and men, about 10,500
were killed and between 500 to 600 carrier and land based aircraft were lost.
11 destroyers, 10 cruisers, 3 battleships,
3 light carriers and 1 fleet carrier.
It was the largest naval battle of WWII.
After Leyte, the Japanese Navy never again
sailed into battle, with such a large force
The sinking of Zuikaku, was the last of the
Japanese Carrires to be sunk, that took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941
SPIRIT OVER TECHNOLOGY:
Leyte was the first use of Kamikaze attacks
the Japanese believed aircraft used this way carrying bombs and crashing into US ships, could destroy US Naval forces in the pacific help turn the tide against Japan.
