Quite a few ships were sunk in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, or the immediate aftermath. Of those, we have found a few of them over the years. Most of which in the later 2010s or early 2020s, by either Paul Allen/RV Petrel or Caladan Oceanic.
This video will give a brief overview of each wreck found, as of the time of uploading, along with a short commentary on those still remaining to be found.
