12,500 Sailors, 34 Ships, 20 Minutes: Japan’s War Fell Apart

Описание: In just twenty minutes, Japan lost control of the Pacific War.
This video reveals how 34 warships and more than 12,500 sailors were effectively erased from Japan’s final offensive—not in a decisive battle, but through a sudden collapse of command, timing, and coordination.
We trace the story from the silent ambush at Palawan Passage to the destruction of Musashi in the Sibuyan Sea, and finally to the moment Vice Admiral Takeo Kurita turned away at Samar—ending Japan’s last realistic chance to challenge American sea power.
This is not a story about heroism alone.
It is a story about systems, belief, and how modern warfare punishes rigid doctrines faster than it destroys fleets.
Through careful analysis and documentary storytelling, this film explains why Japan’s navy did not fall because it lacked courage or ships—but because it lost control at the worst possible moment.
If you want to understand how wars are really decided—and why Leyte Gulf changed naval warfare forever—this is the story you need to see.
