Battle at Sea Ends with Cruiser Sinking and Escape
Lieutenant Kelly and Bulkeley lead a bold night torpedo attack near Cebu against a Kuma class cruiser and two destroyers. Despite early misses, Kelly’s squadron scores two critical torpedo hits that cripple the cruiser, while Bulkeley evades three pursuing destroyers and slips into shallow water by dawn. The mission paves the way for future relief efforts to Bataan as reports of an American offensive surface from Cebu.
