As Adm Bull Halsey steams north from the Phillipines after a decoy fleet the ships he left to protect the landings are on their own. Several Fletcher Class destroyers and destroyer escorts gaurding light(jeep) carriers. When from over the horizon the entire Jap southern force attacks. Lead by the battleship Yamato 72.000 tons 24" armor armed with 9 18.1in guns 2700lb armor piercing rounds range 27 miles. Consisting of four battleships half a dozen heavy cruisers 14" guns, gun range 22 miles. Fletcher class US destroyer armed with 5 5" guns 54lb non armor piercing rounds range 8 miles and torpedoes range 5 miles 3/4" armor. ATTACK!!!! Greatest sea battle in history as David takes on Goliath and takes the day. Good Read.
