Read the book “Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors” by James Hornfischer. Leyte Gulf is an amazing story.

Drachinifel is my go-to guy, but when I have the strength to keep up with the pace Dr Alexander Clarke is another. They are both very well read, just don't write much. (There's a lot more to YouTube than watching 'Karen freakouts' and stupid drivers)

I’ve read a lot of WW2 history and bounce around a lot on topics. I know the story the OP posted about but haven’t read anything specific about. There was 3 different battles taking place all about the same time. The Japanese were beaten badly at 2 of the 3. The one the OP posted about was a tactical victory for the US since they turned back.
