Battle of Leyte Gulf (Quick note to Grampa)

The Battle of Leyte Gulf is considered the largest naval battle in history. It was probably the very last, as we have moved to the era of jet fighters and the guided missle cruiser. Being that my Grandfather's battleship, the U.S.S. California, played a major role at Surigao, I thought I'd mention that the History Channel is covering it in some detail Friday. I don't know how good the show is but might be worth the watch. It's on the History Channel, Friday at 9pm. Here is a link for the show. Click on THIS. Hopefully they show some 40mm (click HERE to hear the sound of them) and 14-inch gun action-your former jobs. See you soon Grampa! Time to hit the road..
