MacArthur's navy : the Seventh Fleet and the battle for the Philippines (Book, ) [theranchhands.com]
In the event of a problem we guarantee full refund. Douglas MacArthur, the army commander, needed the cooperation of the navy to conduct operations and move troops. But the Allies-at war in the Atlantic as well as the Pacific-were woefully short of ships and, besides, the navy was at odds with MacArthur's plan to recapture the Philippines, a strategy as much political as military. Then, slowly, the war's tide began to turn. Allied forces stopped the Japanese advance in the Solomons and New Guinea. Ships were made available for the series of amphibious assaults that were to drive the Japanese back to their home islands.
And so the Seventh Fleet was created, and ship by ship MacArthur began to receive the naval support he'd been clamoring for. New Britain, Cape Gloucester, Hollandia, Biak- these are places forgotten by all but those who fought there and the families of those who died there. Yet with each landing the Allies gained experience, learning valuable lessons about military planning and execution. In the end, MacArthur prevailed. He got both his navy and his strategy.
The stage was set for the great invasion of the Philippines, supported by the largest naval force ever assembled.

The suicide attacks were relentless, killing hundreds and hundreds of sailors and crippling ship after ship. The effect was so devastating, the military censors suppressed reports of the destruction from the American people, not wanting such demoralizing news released when victory seemed so clearly in sight.
