S2 E7: The Battle of Leyte Gulf was the greatest sea conflict in history, involving the world’s largest ships, hundreds of aircraft, and three days of white-knuckled combat. It also marked the beginning of the end of the Imperial Navy’s grip on the Pacific. Witness the battle from start to finish, from the brilliant offensive and defensive tactics to the David-and-Goliath confrontations, and from the first kamikaze attack to the last hurrah of the battleship, which afterwards would bow to the superiority of air carriers as the dominant weapon of war.
