What veteran U.S. Carrier commander is absent from the battle of Midway? Why?

History
1 answer:
Korolek [52]2 years ago
7 0

During the Battle of Midway, the U.S. was without one of her finest Carrier commanders,<u> Fleet Admiral </u><u>William Frederick Halsey </u><u>Jr.</u> because he was overstressed and suffering from Psoriasis .

William Halsey Jr.:

  • Was one of 4 Fleet Admirals in U.S. history
  • Spearheaded raids against the Japanese after the Battle of Pearl Harbor
  • Led the Americans to victory in the Battle of Leyte Gulf

William Halsey was so angered by the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor that he started a series of raids on Japanese held territory as well as the Japanese homeland.

After 6 months of doing this, he developed extreme stress and lost a lot of weight and developed the skin condition known as Psoriasis. With a heavy heart, Fleet Admiral Nimitz then ordered him to Hawaii because he was insisting on remaining in command.

As a result, he was not present during the Battle of Midway and the U.S. had to make due without a veteran like him.

We can therefore conclude that William Halsey did not participate in the Battle of Midway.
