In 1944, a tiny American escort carrier task force known as "Taffy 3" found itself facing the might of the Japanese Center Force—four battleships, including the Yamato. With only destroyers and aircraft, they mounted a desperate, chaotic defense to protect the invasion of the Philippines.

We recount the suicidal torpedo runs, the battleship shells punching through flimsy carriers, and the legendary bluff that made the Japanese retreat. This is the story of unimaginable courage that saved thousands of lives on Leyte's beaches.
