Ozawa proposed to have the his and Kurita's forces operate autonomously. This was accepted by Toyoda. Vice-Admiral Ozawa was also ordered to transfer more than half of his pilots to Formosa; these pilots had not been trained to operate from aircraft carriers but could operate from land bases. Ozawa's aircraft carriers, with greatly depleted squadrons, were then assigned the role of decoy; they were to lure the fast American aircraft carriers away and allow Kurita's force of seven battleships and eleven heavy cruisers to reach the landing beaches more easily. Final adjustments were made to the plan after both Shima's and Ozawa's squadrons left their respective bases: the two hybrid carrier-battleships

The Japanese suffered serious losses, in addition to the two fleet carriers sunk, 90% of the approximately 80 planes of the fourth wave were shot down. By late afternoon, the Mobile Fleet retreated northwest to rejoin their tankers, and the American fleet did not pursue them.
