On October 25, 1944, Admiral William Halsey's Third Fleet made its way north, tracking the Japanese Northern Force. What Halsey didn't realize was he was playing right into the Japanese trap. In moving his fleet, Halsey gave the Japanese exactly what they needed, a clear path to Leyte Gulf. Learn about Halsey's decision in part 7 of our video series, "Where is Task Force 34?"
This 11-part video series explores the Battle of Leyte Gulf in-depth, using accounts from veterans who fought that battle. Many of the veterans who fought at Leyte Gulf have since passed on, but before they died, they left behind vivid accounts of their experiences. In this video series, voice actors read aloud their words to bring their experiences back to life. From them, we can learn what it was like to have witnessed one of the largest naval battles in world history.
All videos are researched, written, and produced by staff and volunteers at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum.
