SURIGAO STRAIT (July 3, 2017) Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), pose for a group photo following a Battle of Leyte Gulf Commemoration Ceremony, July 3, 2017, in the Surigao Strait. The Battle of Leyte Gulf raged from Oct. 23-26, 1944, pitting the Imperial Japanese navy against the Allied forces from the United States and Australia and was the last great battleship engagement in history. Nimitz is currently on deployment in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. The U.S. Navy has patrolled the Indo-Asia Pacific routinely for more than 70 years promoting regional peace and security.
