While U.S. commanders were planning to invade the Philippines, Japanese planners, unsure where the next Allied blow would fall, drew up four Sho (Victory) contingency plans. The intricate Sho-1 plan to counter a Philippines invasion would eventually call for three separate naval surface forces to converge on Leyte Gulf and wipe out the U.S. Seventh Fleet's invasion armada. The key to the operation was luring away the strong Third Fleet by using a Japanese carrier force as bait. USNI: link |
