Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors The Navy's Chosin Reservoir moment. During the invasion of the Philippines, the Japanese navy successfully deceived Admiral Halsey into taking nearly the entire U.S. fleet on a wild goose chase. This left 6 escort carriers, 3 destroyers, and 3 destroyer escorts to guard MacArthur's landing force against the Japanese fleet consisting of 4 battleships (including the biggest, most powerful battleship ever created), 6 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, and 11 destroyers. The Americans won.
