The battle of lat gulf is considered to be the battle where the suicide attacks, known as comacasi attacks first happen in real numbers. American air power just shredded japanese naval assets whenever it found it. The event happens in that one moment in time. If you're an american get ingto the back field, right there, they're the're fighting with these escort carriers. It really inflicts a defeat on the japanese navy that they never recover from. And the navy will be reduced to a impotence after this.
When do spirit, tenacity, resilience and bravery cross into madness? When cities are incinerated? When suicide attacks become the norm? When atomic weapons are used? Japan's leaders test the limits of national endurance in the war's last year.
