  Who is Guarding the San Bernardino Strait?
No one had been guarding the San Bernardino Strait and the remaining American ships, smaller and fewer in number than the oncoming enemy, could hardly hope to take on a major Japanese fleet and prevent disaster.
Their unexpected heroism, akin to a cavalry charge at sea, along with the unlikely scenario that the San Bernardino Strait would have been left so unguarded, fooled the Japanese into thinking they faced a greater force and had blundered into a trap.
They concern themselves with boycotts, lobbying, legislation, political action, leaving the San Bernardino Strait unguarded and thus exposing the children of America to mortal danger by not developing a serious plan to rescue children from statist humanistic agendas as Goals 2000 and homosexual activists capturing our children in the public schools.

  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: San Bernardino Strait
The San Bernardino Strait is a strait in the Philippines.
A strait is a narrow channel of water that connects two larger bodies of water, and thus lies between two land masses.
That is, while straits lie between two land masses and connects two larger bodies of water, isthmuses lie between two bodies of water and connects two larger land masses.

 Pourade: The Glory Years   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The California Southern Railroad was chartered on October 12, 1880, to construct a railroad from National City to San Bernardino, with Benjamin Kimball of Boston as president, M.A. Luce of San Diego as vice president, Thomas Nickerson as treasurer, and Frank Kimball as one of the directors.
Today the people of San Diego are celebrating the event in a manner that proclaims the awakening of the city to new life, from which, as long as the sun shines, under no matter what rulers she will never again slumber until ages have filled her lap with the wealth of nations.
Somehow, for all the bands and speeches, the great hour when San Diego at long last was connected by rail with the East seemed to be an anticlimax to the thirty years of struggle running back to 1852, before many of those who were present at the train's arrival had ever heard of the town.

 Chapter 5 - Copyright © 2001 Robert Jon Cox
The American battleline, steaming in formation across the end of the strait, would be in position to bear all their guns on the approaching fleet as it exited the strait one-by-one.
He presently knew nothing of the American force awaiting him at the north end of the strait, nor was he coordinating his attack by waiting for VADM Shima’s Rear forces to catch up with those of his own.
This unit had never been assigned any responsibility for covering the exit of San Bernardino Straits, either by reconnaissance or by force, and in the absence of any information that this exit was no longer blocked, it was logical to assume that our northern flank could not be exposed without ample warning.
