Halsey was lucky not to have been court marshaled after being fooled by the Japanese Never was close, he was doing what he was supposed to do. There was no unified command, communication issues prevented the dispatch of ships to cover the eastern exit of the San Bernadino Straits.

Halsey was lucky not to have been court marshaled after being fooled by the Japanese I hear ya. But one has to have some sympathy when the bait was aircraft carriers. I mean, who would be crazy enough to expend their carriers as decoys?
The fact that they had no planes or pilots left is irrelevant. Halsey had no way to know that.
