    Tomorrow afternoon, 76 years ago, October 24, 1944, if you had been standing on Cape Siaton, you could have seen Japanese Admiral Nishimura's force, including Battleships Yamashiro and Fuso and cruiser Mogami pass close enough to see as they steamed by at 18 knots to their fate in Surigao Strait against USN's Adm Oldendorf with 6 battleships, 5 of which had been at Pearl Harbor, as part of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. A moment of silence might be appropriate.
