The Secret Destroyer Charge That Fooled a Japanese Fleet — They Thought They Were Battleships

October 25, 1944. Six small escort carriers face the entire Japanese Center Force — four battleships including Yamato, the largest ever built, six heavy cruisers, and eleven destroyers. Mathematical survival: impossible. Then three American destroyers do the unthinkable: they charge. USS Johnston, USS Hoel, and USS Samuel B. Roberts attack battleships with torpedo boats. Commander Ernest Evans, a Cherokee from Oklahoma, leads the suicidal charge that will become the greatest naval bluff in history. For two hours, seven American escorts convince 23 Japanese warships they're fighting the entire U.S. Third Fleet. The secret? Pure courage. The result? Japan's fleet retreats from certain victory. This is the Battle off Samar — where tin cans defeated battleships, where destroyer escorts fought like battleships, and where impossible odds meant nothing to men who refused to surrender. Every event verified through historical sources. No Hollywood fiction. Just the most unbelievable true story of WWII naval warfare. #BattleOffSamar #WWII #NavalHistory #USSJohnston #ErnestEvans #PacificWar #Taffy3 #BattleOfLeyteGulf #NavalWarfare #MilitaryHistory #TrueStory #HistoryDocumentary #WWIIHistory #DestroyersVsBattleships #CourageUnderFire
