Nope, Midway was known as "The Battle of Midway," which happens to have taken place around Midway Island, which isn't even mildly close to the Phillipines. :)
If memory serves, that battle was known as the Battle of Leyte Gulf. It was the last massive naval action between the US Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Assuming I answered correctly, my contribution is: what was the name of the overweight heavy cruiser that accompanied the Bismarck and engaged the Royal Navy in the action that saw the HMS Hood sunk? |
