24 OCTOBER 1944 : JAPANESE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ZUIKAKU IS SUNK
This day, the Japanese aircraft carrier Zhuikaku and the battleship Musashi are sunk in the Battle of Leyte Gulf (Philippines)
The Battle of Leyte Gulf, also known as the "Second Battle of the Philippine Sea", was the largest naval battle in modern history. It was fought in the Pacific Theater of World War II, in the seas surrounding the Philippine island
of Leyte from 23 October to 26 October 1944, between the Allies and the Empire of Japan.
The Allies commenced the invasion of Leyte in order to cut off Japan from her South East Asia colonies and hamper the source of crucial oil supplies for the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Japanese gathered all their remaining major
naval forces in an attempt to repel the Allied troops, but they failed to achieve their objective and suffered heavy losses. The battle was the last major naval engagement of World War II; the Imperial Japanese Navy never again sailed
to battle in such large force, being deprived of their fuel, returning to Japan to sit inactive for the remainder of the war.
The first use of kamikaze aircraft was during this battle. A kamikaze hit the Australian heavy cruiser HMAS Australia on 21 October, and organized suicide attacks by the "Special Attack Force" began on 25 October.
