Hi gang:

Well besides being my wedding anniversary, today marks the anniversary of the of the epic battle of Leyte Gulf, the last time battleships clashed. I'm currently reading John Prdaos "Storm over Leyte" which covers the battle from the intelligence aspect and it recommended for its new insights into the Japanese planning and why Kurita never really bought into the smash the invasion force mission. Highly recommended.

HI Ed:

Congrats on your anniversary, mine was Monday. However, we still had to take granddaughter to school and pick her up. However, we did have a beautiful lunch. I hope yours went as well.

Kurita was an experienced officer and I think by this time, he figured why lose all these men for an attack that was meaningless. Probably could be a lot of reasons.
