It is generally thought that Nowaki scuttled Chikuma, but a more recent study suggests Chikuma sank from the effect of the air attack, and Nowaki arrived only in time to pick up survivors from the water (Tully 2000, p. 251). Chikuma's wreck is located at 11°25′N 126°36′E / 11.417°N 126.600°E / 11.417; 126.600. Tully, Anthony P. (2000). "Solving some Mysteries of Leyte Gulf: Fate of the "Chikuma" and "Chokai"".
