Who is Guarding the San Bernardino Strait? (1706 words)
No one had been guarding the San Bernardino Strait and the remaining American ships, smaller and fewer in number than the oncoming enemy, could hardly hope to take on a major Japanese fleet and prevent disaster.
Their unexpected heroism, akin to a cavalry charge at sea, along with the unlikely scenario that the San Bernardino Strait would have been left so unguarded, fooled the Japanese into thinking they faced a greater force and had blundered into a trap.
They concern themselves with boycotts, lobbying, legislation, political action, leaving the San Bernardino Strait unguarded and thus exposing the children of America to mortal danger by not developing a serious plan to rescue children from statist humanistic agendas as Goals 2000 and homosexual activists capturing our children in the public schools.

The still potent Center Force, after pushing through San Bernardino Strait, had steamed south along the coast of Samar where it was held at bay by a little escort carrier group of six "baby flattops", three destroyers, and four destroyer escorts until help arrived to send it fleeing in defeat back towards Japan.
She decommissioned in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard 9 April 1952 for conversion to a modern attack aircraft carrier.
