OCTOBER MEETING SUMMARY
Joe Huber presented a talk with slides about the Battle of Leyte Gulf. This battle involved more ships, more men and extended over more area than any other naval battle in history. During the battle the US lost 6 ships but the Japanese lost over 20 ships. These losses effectively ended the threat from the Japanese navy. Our attendance was 84.
