This book is the story of a small destroyer escort, the USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413), known by a voice radio call sign as “Little Wolf”. The Roberts, together with three other destroyer escorts, three destroyers, and their brood of six little “jeep” carriers, collectively known as Task Unit 77.4.3 (Taffy 3), fought Vice Admiral Kurita’s mighty armada of four battleships, eight heavy cruisers, one light cruiser, and ten destroyers intent on wiping out General MacArthur’s forces which were then establishing their beach heads at nearby Leyte Island. During the ensuing battle, Kurita sank the Roberts, two of the destroyers, and one “jeep” carrier.
