It is nothing short of miraculous that the Americans won the battle. Admiral Halsey had been successfully lured away with his modern battleships, carriers, and cruisers, by Admiral Ozawa's decoy force, leaving Admirals Sprague's Jeep carriers and Admiral Oldendorf's elderly battleships to fight the battle. The IJN had the superior firepower in this, the largest sea battle in history, yet somehow the USN won it.
