Description: | Select Guide Rating In late 1944, the Second World War was going badly for Japan. The Japanese strategy in Leyte was to entrap the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet with assault from Surigao Strait. Covering the northern part of the strait were U.S. destroyer squadrons, cruisers, and battleships to form the horizontal bar of a "T.” The actions help disrupt the Japanese strategy. |
