In October 1944, USS Darter sighted Admiral Kurita’s massive fleet in the Palawan Passage and sent the contact report that warned the U.S. of Japan’s coming strike at Leyte. That night, she sank Atago—Kurita’s flagship—and crippled Takao. Though Darter ran aground and was lost, her message helped turn the tide of the Pacific War. #WWII #USSDarter #LeyteGulf #Submarine #PacificWar #USNavy | The Reliable Narrator
