If you are in the area you should stop.

Battle of Surigao Strait Museum

This is the portal for the Battle of Surigao Strait Museum, a historical museum established in Surigao City. It will officially opened on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Surigao Strait Museum on Oct 25, 2014. It is the only museum in the world that has a complete display of a "fired" WW2 Japanese aerial torpedo which did not hit its target and instead dived into the sand, only to be found 70 years after.

Many thanks to Dexter, Anne and another Filipina from the City Tourism Office for explaining the history of the Battle of Surigao Strait, October 1944 when seven Japanese warships, six of which were sunk, found themselves defeated by 81 Alled vessels including the Australian HMAS Shropshire. Dexter's detailed knowledge was delivered in perfect English. The museum is small, but free, and is very well curated with a huge map of Mindanao's north and Visayan islands such as Leyte showing the route the Japanese ships fatefully took. There are numerous photos plus plaques including one from Australia. The museum is in the heart of the CBD off to the side of Luneta Park.
