PACE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMAtM TALL5, OKCUUN m mi FLEET: LOSE 27 WARSHIPS (Continued from Page One) aged an enemy light cruiser In tne Mindanao sea. But, without the continuing achievements, the already ac complished blows promise to lift Japan's losses beyond the 35 warships sunk or damaged off Guadalcanal in November, 1942. 27 Confirmed Several enemy destroyers are bnnwn to have cone down which are not included in the confirmed 27. Todav, Vice Adm. Thomas C. Kinkaid, whose outnumbered seventh fleet turned the tide irom threatened disaster into history-making triumph in Lcyte suit, made clear much more re mains to be catalogued official ly. Splits Fleet It was Kinkaid who split up his fleet, took on two enemy warship forces converging on the Leyte invasion scene and trounced both while submarines and warships and carrier planes of Adm. William F. Halsey, Jr's, third fleet surprised and dealt mortal blows on enemy flattops attempting a sneak punch Irom Formosa waters. Today Kinkaid told Dean Schedler. Associated Press war correspondent in the Philippines, that the Japanese risked from 39 to 46 warships in the two battles near .Leyte and only 211 retired. That general summary suggested from 19 to 26 enemy ships were bagged, although it did not dif ferentiate between sunk and" damaged. But the 23 which got away were pursued by planes and, doubtless, as yet undisclosed damSge was heaped on them. The 27th confirmation was the light cruiser hit by Liberators in the Mindanao sea, a sector through which one segment of Ihe Japanese fleet naturally flee after being forced back through Surigao strait. This was the fleet group which ap proached Leyte from the south east and actually penetrated the gulf.
