Blameworthy Bull. The bulk of the Japanese navy was divided into four groups. Two minor groups made up the southern force, which was supposed to steam through Surigao Strait between Leyte and Mindanao. The main striking group was the central force, under Vice Admiral Kurita. which was to steam through San Bernardino Strait north of Leyte between Samar and Luzon. Like two arms of a nutcracker, the two fleets were to converge on Leyte Gulf, wipe out. amphibious and supply craft there, and isolate MacArthur's forces on the island.

The same technique failed when Soviet Russia walked out of the U.N., and there is no indication that it increases in efficacy...
