The coup de grace of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, October 1944 -- the spectacular finale to the naval war in the Pacific Theater -- was administered by Taffy 3, a vastly outgunned U.S. Task Unit of tin can destroyers and baby flat-tops.
A testament to will, doggedness and tactics over sheer firepower, this famous battle is a textbook example of naval strategy. DOGFIGHTS recreates this phenomenal showdown with riveting detail and jaw-dropping effects.
"Men, I do not order you to fight; I order you to die". ~ Mustapha Kemal at the Battle of Gallipoli
