Commander Bio:
Takeo Kurita (1889-1971) was a vice admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy (1942). After he graduated from the Naval Academy in 1910, It took him 10 years to advance from a junior officer to a destroyer commander. Several times he joined the Naval Torpedo School as an instructor and finally as a chief instructor. Aside from that, in the 1930s, he commanded several destroyer groups, a light cruiser and a battlecruiser. Soon after, he was appointed as a destroyer flotilla commander. When the Pacific War began, Kurita was a commander of a Mogami-class cruiser division. His ships covered the Japanese invasion of Java in late February through early March, 1942. In a fierce night battle of Sunda Strait, he destroyed the enemy squadron attempting to attack landing forces. In the spring of the same year, Kurita's cruisers delivered a heavy blow to Allied shipping in the Bay of Bengal. In October 1944, Kurita's fleet, which consisted two Yamato-class battleships, played one of the key roles in the Battle of Leyte Gulf and dealt a devastating strike, which was nearly disastrous for the Allies.
