WWII, Battle of Leyte Gulf,1944

The Battle of Leyte Gulf is considered to have been the largest naval battle of WWII and a contender for the title largest naval battle in history, with over 200,000 naval personnel involved. It was fought in waters near the Philippine islands of Leyte, Samar, and Luzon, from October 23-26 1944, between combined American and Australian forces and the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was the first battle in which Japanese aircraft carried out organized kamikaze attacks. (cropped and cleaned).
