		The 7th Fleet formed a large part of the Allied forces at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, October 1944, which is often said to have been the largest naval battle in history.
		Following the end of the Cold War, the two major military scenarios in which the 7th Fleet would be used would be in case of conflict in Korea or a conflict between The People's Republic of China and Taiwan in the Taiwan Straits.

	The Battle of Leyte Gulf
		And this was the basis of a brilliant plan to crush the Seventh Fleet conducting an invasion of the Philippines.
		Boasting nearly a dozen fleet aircraft carriers, and six of the fastest battleships in the world (including the Iowa and New Jersey) and led by Bull Halsey, the Third Fleet was not afraid of an engagement with the Japanese.
		If the Third Fleet could be lured away to chase the empty aircraft carriers coming in from the north, the extremely vulnerable Seventh Fleet would be totally exposed and subject to annihilation.

		The Second and Third Fleets are home-ported in the United States, with most of their forces training in coastal waters, while the Sixth and Seventh Fleets are home-ported at forward locations, with forces operating in areas of responsibility.

		Seventh Fleet control of the Strait was consequently the crucial factor; with the Seventh Fleet involved in Korea, warning of attack was essential; on 10 July, therefore, as Struble returned from his visit to Taipei, redeployment of the Seventh Fleet patrol planes was begun.
		On the basis of this forward deployment Commander Seventh Fleet proposed on the 16th that General MacArthur announce the imminent commencement of naval air reconnaissance of Formosa Strait.
		The limitations on Seventh Fleet endurance, moreover, made him want to hold it in reserve to cover the landing of the 1st Cavalry Division, and on the 12th a dispatch operation order instructed Admiral Struble to provide objective air cover at Pohang, support of the landing force, and such additional effort as might be directed.

		The Commander of the First Escort Fleet moved his headquarters from TAKAO, FORMOSA to MOJI in February 1945 and in April he was assigned the additional responsibility of defending the SHIMONOSEKI Straits against mine attack.
		Due to the fact that the UNITED STATES did not use mines extensively during the first years of the war, the Japanese allowed their research efforts to relax and consequently were in no way prepared for the saturation type of attack that was delivered in Japanese waters in the spring of 1945.
