Admiral-wise, worst were Bull Halsey & Marc Mitscher. Best was Ray Spruance.

Best was Ray Spruance.

Interesting that in the same post, Admiral Halsey is
castigated as the worst and Admiral Spruance as the best.

If it weren't for Admiral Halsey, there would have been no
Admiral Spruance commanding the carrier division at the
Battle of Midway. Spruance's expertise was as cruiser
division commander.

Thank the Lord for Admiral Spruance. Halsey's decision to
recommend Spruance to Halsey ask the task force commander
is arguably the decision that began to turn the tide of the war.
