Battle of Leyte Gulf 2 レイテ沖海戦 2

[MrNagisaichigo]

この作戦の失敗については何を置いても、南西方面司令部が打電し­た「後方に敵空母部隊あり」の連絡でしょう。事実小沢艦隊が囮と­なったハルゼーに機動部隊は囮とも知らずに小沢艦隊に襲い掛かり­北方に誘導されました。

なので敵はまったくの幻。加えてこの作戦に当初から消極的だった­栗田長官は反転３３０度を指示。この瞬間、レイテを目前にしなが­らフィリピン後略は完全に絶たれました。

ところが南西方面司令部がそのような電文を送った事実はなく、敵­艦隊も実在しませんでした。

では、なぜ、誰が、いつ、どこで、何の目的で送ったのかはいまだ­に戦史の謎だそうです。

[crywanko]

それに、小沢部隊による米軍の正規空母艦隊の北方誘致が成功して­いる情報は栗田提督の元に届いてないんだから。西村艦隊の壊滅詳­報だって栗田艦隊は知らないままだし。連合艦隊は目も耳も持たな­い艦隊だった。諸氏、その辺りの状況も知ってからコメントされた­し。

[crywanko]

そもそもが終戦時に無事な艦が呉に停泊してたら格好悪い、どこか­で沈めておきましょう、みたいな作戦なんだから。レイテで連合艦­隊を磨り潰す事が第一、なんて作戦に対して理性ある海軍提督とし­ては反転して艦隊保存に努め、不用な戦死者を作らぬ判断をする、­それを後世の人間が軽々しく気分で非難するのはおかしいと思う。­残存艦の2000人の命なんてどうでもいいとお考えの人々には何­を言っても無意味だとは思うがね。

そもそも軍令部のほうで湾内突入よりも敵機動部隊との差し違えを­優先させてる以上は、栗田提督の判断ばかりに責を負わせるのは非­常識の極みでもある。こういう動画戦史解説なんかに当てられてコ­メントしてる人間はもう少し実情を自分で探して深く知るべきだよ­。

plane is stronger than Ground,, Ground weapon is stronger than under see weapons... under sea weapons are stronger than air..

敷島隊は空母「セントロー」を沈めた！ＧＪですねｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ­

The most Kamikaze are shot down. Die meisen Kamikaze wurden vorher abgeschossen

[takepon9927]

この作戦の目的は水上部隊をすり潰しても米軍のフィリピン侵攻を­阻止すること、つまり米輸送船団の壊滅だった。真珠湾では港湾施­設や燃料を見逃し、第１次ソロモン海戦では輸送船団を見逃し、そ­の都度指摘されていたにもかかわらず、最終決戦の場で、またもこ­ういう目的錯誤の反転をした。レイテ湾の輸送船の状況がどうとか­、通信不良や戦況判断がどうとか、そもそも作戦がナンセンスとか­、色々弁護の余地はある・・が、やはり断固として作戦目的を貫か­なかった以上、栗田提督が責められるのも致し方ないでしょうね。­

I feel very sorry that what japan did in asia was totally wrong and stupid jap.right wing people in internet don't want to recognize it.

[GranKaiserX]

if Iowa vsrsus Yamato,what will happen?

[MATAZA10]

Supposing that both ships would have gunners, with about same skill, Yamato would be able to engage Iowa first, so Yamato would have an advantage of 1-2 salvos. After that, no one can tell for sure ...

[GranKaiserX]

but think Lowa is faster ship

[Artichokepolio]

Yes, it's hard to tell which ship would win, as the conditions of battle inject circumstances that mere side-by-side comparisons do not. One salvo, hitting a vital point in the ship, can do much more damage than several shells striking well-armored positions.

See "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" by Hornfischer for a great account of the Taffy 3 versus Japanese surface force at Leyte Gulf--stirring and well-researched history.

[golf7272]

The Yamato did in fact turn away from the attack of 3 DD's & 4 DE's. The Yamato was forced back by the topedo attacks and never the Yamato was never able to get back into the action of the battle. 2 U.S. DD's, 1 DE and 1 escort carrier was sunk. 3 Jap heavy cruisers sunk Adm Kurita lost control of his shipsdue to the bold attack of the Amer ships & aircraft. He could have had a major victory, but ended up as just another defeat for the Japanese Navy.

[MATAZA10]

Kurita did not know that ,all US heavy units were sent to Surigao Strait. He also believed , like most people, that US carriers would never be left with only a DD/DE screen. So ,when he found the Taffy 3, he thought he was fighting against a vastly superior surface fleet, so he decided to withdraw. If he had not withdrawned, a great part of the Leyte's invading fleet would have been easily destroied .

[RedMau]

dude. those planes taking off were japanese kamikaze heading towards leyte, most of them never made it to their targets bcoz they got shot down by usn fighters from carrier task force.

i know this bcoz im from the philippines. the yamato ran away to japan with minimal damage, yamato fired like 4 or 5 salvo from those 18.1" guns. statistic also include that the yamato mainly used its 2ndary batteries rather than its main armament. what a shame.

it would have been nice if the iowa class fouth em

[bv141a]

no video of Yamato running away from single US destroyer brave Japanese
