Question: Battle of Peleliu and Battle of Leyte Gulf, occurred during which historic event?
Context: USS "Honolulu" (CL-48) of the United States Navy was a "Brooklyn"-class light cruiser active in the Pacific War (World War II).  "Honolulu" was launched in 1937 and commissioned in 1938.  The ship served in the Battle of Tassafaronga, the Battle of Kula Gulf, the Battle of Kolombangara and the Battle of Peleliu.  She was taken out of action by serious torpedo damage just before the Battle of Leyte Gulf.  She was repaired, but did not return to the Pacific war.  She was decommissioned in 1947 and was held in reserve until she was scrapped in 1959. USS "Leyte Gulf" (CG-55) is a "Ticonderoga"-class guided missile cruiser in the United States Navy.  She was named in memory of the World War II Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Pacific.  She is powered by four large gas-turbine engines, and she has a large complement of guided missiles for air defense, attack of surface targets at sea and ashore, and anti-submarine warfare (ASW).  In addition, she carries two "Seahawk" LAMPS multi-purpose helicopters, whose primary mission is ASW. USS "Enterprise" (CV-6), was the seventh U.S. Navy vessel to bear the name.  Colloquially called "the Big E", she was the sixth aircraft carrier of the United States Navy.  A "Yorktown"-class carrier, she was launched in 1936 and was one of only three American carriers commissioned before World War II to survive the war (the others being "Saratoga" and "Ranger" ).  She participated in more major actions of the war against Japan than any other United States ship.  These actions included the Attack on Pearl Harbor (18 dive bombers of VS-6 were over the harbor, 6 were shot down with a loss of eleven men, making her the only American Aircraft carrier with men at Pearl Harbor during the Attack and the first to receive casualties during the Pacific War), the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, various other air-sea engagements during the Guadalcanal Campaign, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.  "Enterprise" earned 20 battle stars, the most for any U.S. warship in World War II, and was the most decorated U.S. ship of World War II, She is also the first American ship to sink an enemy vessel during the Pacific War, the sole surviving pilot of the six planes shot down over Pearl Harbor sank Japanese submarine I-70 on 10 December 1941.  On three occasions during the Pacific War, the Japanese announced that she had been sunk in battle, resulting in her being named "The Grey Ghost". The Battle of Leyte Gulf is generally considered to be the largest naval battle of World War II and, by some criteria, possibly the largest naval battle in history. San Pedro Bay is a bay in the Philippines, at the northwest end of Leyte Gulf, about 15 km east-west and 20 km north-south.  The bay is bounded by two islands; on the north and east by Samar, and on the east by Leyte.  It is connected by San Juanico Strait to Carigara Bay of the Samar Sea.  The largest city on the bay is Tacloban City, the capital of Leyte province. Samar, formerly named as Western Samar, is a province in the Philippines located on Samar Island in Eastern Visayas.  Its capital is Catbalogan City.  It is bordered by Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Leyte and the Leyte Gulf, and includes several islands in the Samar Sea.  Samar is connected to the island of Leyte via the San Juanico Bridge. Leyte Gulf is a gulf in the Eastern Visayan region in the Philippines.  The bay is part of the Philippine Sea of the Pacific Ocean, and is bounded by two islands; Samar in the north and Leyte in the west.  On the south of the bay is Mindanao Island, separated from Leyte by the Surigao Strait.  Dinagat Island partly encloses the gulf to the southeast, and the small Homonhon Island and Suluan Island, sit astride the eastern entrance to the Gulf.  It is approximately 130 km (80 mi) north-south, and 60 km (40 mi) east-west. The Battle of Peleliu, codenamed Operation Stalemate II by the United States military, was fought between the U.S. and the Empire of Japan during the Mariana & Palau Campaign of World War II, from September to November 1944, on the island of Peleliu. The MacArthur Landing Memorial National Park (also known as the Leyte Landing Memorial Park and MacArthur Park) is a protected area of the Philippines that commemorates the historic landing of General Douglas MacArthur in Leyte Gulf at the start of the campaign to recapture and liberate the Philippines from Japanese occupation on 20 October 1944.  This event led to the largest naval battle of World War II and Japan's eventual defeat and surrender after almost three years.  The war memorial is located in the municipality of Palo on Leyte island in Eastern Visayas and is one of the region's major tourist attractions.  It was declared a national park on 12 July 1977 through Letter of Instructions No. 572 signed by President Ferdinand Marcos. Colonel Kunio Nakagawa (中川 州男 , Nakagawa Kunio , 23 January 1898 – 24 November 1944) was the commander of Japanese forces which defended the island of Peleliu in the Battle of Peleliu which took place from 15 September to 27 November 1944.  He inflicted heavy losses on attacking U.S. Marines and held Peleliu Island for almost three months.  On the evening of 24 November, after the battle was lost, he committed "seppuku" (ritual suicide) in the tradition of Japanese samurai warriors.  He was posthumously promoted to lieutenant general.
