Akatsuki No Chinkonka (Requiem) Shita / Rekishi Gunzo Shinsho 231-2

[Machine Translation] October 1944. Operation Sho-1," the last sortie of the Allied Fleet, is launched. The Dawn Force (mother ship "Raikou" and 12 key boats) was formed into a separate task force, the Nishimura Fleet, and entered the Surigao Strait toward Leyte Gulf as the lead ship. However, what awaited them there was the U.S. Pacific Fleet with three times as many ships as the U.S. Navy. On the other hand, the Kurita Fleet led by the "YAMATO" and "MUSASHI" was supposed to enter Leyte Gulf through the San Bernardino Strait. However, they encountered an American attack in the Sibuyan Sea, and "Musashi" was sacrificed. And just before the attack, the fleet was forced to turn around. Will the Allied Fleet's desperate attack succeed, and will the Dawn Unit survive? The fierce naval battle finally comes to an end.
