The Sinking of Hatsuzuki: The Destroyer That Fought An Entire US Fleet

#NavalHistory #WW2 #Documentary #BattleofLeyteGulf The Battle of Leyte Gulf was the largest naval battle in history, but hidden within its colossal clashes is a story of courage that borders on the unbelievable. This is the story of the Japanese Destroyer Hatsuzuki, the "First Autumn Moon." In the final stages of the Battle off Cape Engaño, the Hatsuzuki, carrying survivors from the sunken carrier Zuikaku, found itself trapped by a vastly superior American force of fourteen cruisers and destroyers. Faced with total annihilation, its commander, Shigetaka Amano, made a fateful choice. He ordered the other ships in his group to flee while he turned his lone destroyer to charge directly at the enemy. For over two hours, the Hatsuzuki endured a level of punishment that should have destroyed it in minutes. This documentary explores the incredible true story of its defiance, the technological disparity of radar-guided gunnery versus sheer will, and the ultimate sacrifice made to save others. Join us as we uncover the legendary last stand of a ship that, faced with impossible odds, refused to die quietly.
