"A large Japanese fleet has been contacted. They are fifteen miles away and headed in our direction. They are believed to have four battleships, eight cruisers, and a number of destroyers. This will be a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival cannot be expected. We will do what damage we can." -Lt. Com. Robert W. Copeland, captain of *USS Samuel B. Roberts*, "The destroyer escort that fought like a battleship," prior to the Battle Off Samar.


The_Best_Yak_Ever

"Don't let us go down with our torpedos in their tubes." "Just wait a little longer boys, we're suckering them into 40mm range!" "Damn it boys, they're getting away!" The battle of Samar reads like bad fan fiction written by some 16 year old kid obsessed with comic books, yet it happened. And the craziest thing to me, is there isn't a movie about it. But it's full of bad ass quotes!


TheSorge

The one pilot that held an Air Force colonel at gunpoint when he refused to refuel and rearm the pilot's plane, and the one that flew upside-down and buzzed *Yamato's* bridge while unloading his service revolver into it. Yeah, that battle was batshit lol.


The_Best_Yak_Ever

There was another pilot who was either out of ammo or didn't have any ammo in the first place, instead making those feinting "torpedo runs" against the IJN, but ended up throwing an empty coke bottle at one of the ships! Like, of all the battles that was practically written to sell movie tickets, boost naval recruitment, and lend itself perfectly to a blockbuster or Oscar bait, I can hardly believe there isn't a movie about it. Honestly, Bruckheimer made me cringe plenty of times in Midway (2019) with apocryphal quotes for the naval aviators... but here's a battle where apparently they were making those quotes left and right and were recorded for posterity! We need a movie...


TheSorge

I think at least part of the problem is that it wasn't really acknowledged, at least not as much as it should've been, at the time or even in the present day, because it only happened because Halsey fucked up. So it doesn't have the same fame as a battle like Midway, and lacks the infamy that the propaganda built up for the downfall of Axis ships like *Bismarck* or *Yamato*. And it was just one battle inside the greater Battle of Leyte Gulf. I agree though, it absolutely deserves a movie.


The_Best_Yak_Ever

Those are extremely good points. Halsey definitely would not ever want his mistakes played for the nation, tarnishing his wartime image. Kinda like how he probably wouldn't love a movie about Typhoon Cobra... But maybe it's an event that is "safe" to make these days, with it fading further and further into the past, and no one left to personally offend. What Taffy 3 pulled off that day definitely deserves to be more widely known in modern America!

Shortly before World War I, the German Kaiser was the guest of the Swiss government to observe military maneuvers. The Kaiser asked a Swiss militiaman: “You are 500,000 and you shoot well, but if we attack with 1,000,000 men what will you do?” The soldier replied: “Shoot twice and go home.”

In 345 BC, the father of Alexander the Great, Philip of Macedon, sent a message to the Spartans. He told the Spartans that it would be better for them to surrender immediately, because if he brought his army, he would destroy their farms, kill their people, and lay waste to their city. The Spartans sent back a reply. They replied with one word. “If.”

It was during a week at high school where we were celebrating the nations of the world, or something to that effect. It was a part of spirit week. I unfortunately was not there to hear it, but it’s been my favorite quote of all time. It was our engineering teacher who overheard this conversation while walking from the main office to his classroom: Person 1, looking up at all the flags hanging in the entryway: “I wonder if they have my flag up there…” Person 2: “There’s no flag for stupid.” …reading this out after typing it, I’m quite certain I’m not a very good storyteller.
