Japan Was Pissed Off By America When 3500 Soldiers Were Killed & Several Destroyers Were Sunk In WW2

#america #history #ww2stories #audiobook #japan October 25, 1944 – Battle off Cape Engaño In the final hours of Japan’s carrier fleet, Task Force 38 launched over 500 aircraft in a relentless attack on Admiral Ozawa’s Mobile Fleet. This force—Zuikaku, Zuiho, Chitose, and Chiyoda—was a desperate decoy meant to lure U.S. carriers away from Leyte Gulf. From the decks of USS Lexington, Essex, Intrepid, and others, waves of F6F Hellcats, SB2C Helldivers, TBF Avengers, and F4U Corsairs struck with devastating precision. By sunset, all four carriers, a light cruiser, and several destroyers were sunk, and more than 3,500 Japanese sailors were dead or missing. This was the last major carrier-versus-carrier battle in history, marking the absolute end of Japan’s carrier aviation. The surviving Japanese ships limped home, their air wings gone forever, while the U.S. Navy cemented total dominance in the Pacific. Discription; 1.
