The Battle of Leyte Gulf-Battle of the Sibuyan Sea

This week Seth, Bill and great pal Jon Parshall tackle the first "official" fight in the greater Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea. The first in our four-episode series on the largest naval battle in human history sees the trio taking a deep dive into the submarine actions of USS Darter and USS Dace, as well as some of Halsey's decisions leading up to Task Force 38's attack on Kurita's Center Force on October 24-25, 1944. The team looks at the aerial attacks on Kurita's Center Force by TG 38.2 and TG 38.3 as they launch wave after wave of attacks against the Japanese super battleship Musashi. Tune in and see what the guys have to say about Musashi suffering a death by a thousand cuts.
