Yeah
Would have been my choice too; Ray Spruance was the anti-Halsey, and this discussion pretty much lays it out, especially nicely eviscerating the critics who always found something retarded about ''HE SHOULD HAVE WON MOAR!!"
Just fuck off, the lot of you. He won every single time he faced the Japs, most times spectacularly so. Not the least of which at Midway. And I did not know that little detail at the Turkey Shoot. And it is the Little Details that make everything work.
A thinking Admiral would be my pick every single time, over a guy who's all balls and no forehead.
