boys we're getting 'em into 40 millimeter range" The general outlines of the battle had been reported earlier in the navy's Nov 17 communique relating how the three pronged Japanese thrust aimed to destroy Gen Douglas MacArthur's transport and supply ships in Leyte gulf met with disaster The Japanese force engaged by Sprague's ships came through San Bernadino strait and was the middle element of

destroyed if he did not get back through the strait "At the time" Sprague recounted "I didn't know why the Japs had turned tail But upon analysis I concluded that It was because they had suffered too
