“The Battle for the Philippines was the greatest naval battle in history, judged in terms of the number of ships taking part, the number of ships sunk, and the importance of its outcome. It included every form of naval warfare of the 20th century: gunnery duels between battleships; destroyer battles at night and by day, as ferocious and sustained as any at the Battle of Jutland; submarines that stalked the depths; sinking many ships; and finally, carrier warfare on a scale never dreamed of even by the most ardent enthusiasts of air warfare at sea.” FormNightTermNumbersAirSeaCenturyBattleImportanceDepthScalesShipsOutcomesJudgedWarfare20th CenturySinkingArdentPhilippinesDestroyersNavalCarrierSubmarinesMaritimeNaval Warfare Author:Richard Hough
