Okay, I will have a shot. Gnomey is toey for question.

What famous WW2 naval battle is incorrectly named for a location other than where it was actually fought?

Gnomey · 05-10-2005, 02:41 PM

Battle off Cape Engano?

spidge · 05-10-2005, 03:53 PM

Right side of the world but the wrong year.....sorry

The Battle you are stating is actually The Battle OFF Cape Engano.

Cape Engano is the furthest North East point of the Philippines in the Philippines Sea.

4 Japanese carriers were sunk in this battle on the 25th of October 1944

Try again but earlier.

Battle of Tassafaronga?

November 30, 1942, Guadalcanal
