Just read it
Holy Crap........about the Battle of Samar
The Yamato at 72,000 tone and three other Battle Ships. Not to mention
6 heavy cruisers
2 light cruiser
11 destroyers
Against
The US
4 destroyers 2,300 tons
3 escort destroyers 1,300 tons
Protecting 6 small carriers.
Halsey had left the San Bernardino Straights unguarded.......Japanese headed for US troops going ashore........
With no gun bigger than 5 inch
A 2 hour battle.......the Japanese left.
I can in no way do justice to this book with any description.......so well written
The US Navy at its best
You get choked up reading it.
