Note 19 — Chapter XVI · The Fall of Ormoc
Reading edition
The journey through Leyte Gulf, Surigao Strait, and the Camotes Sea was uneventful. Several unidentified planes flew over the convoy but did not launch an attack. The only alert during the voyage was about twilight on the 6th of December, when an unidentified group of eighteen bombers flew over the formation in the direction of Tacloban. The convoy encountered numerous small native craft en route and checked several of these but found no Japanese.19
