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

1 answer:

7 0

During the Battle of Midway, the U.S. was without one of her finest Carrier commanders, Fleet Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. 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.

The peasants would be unable to provide enough for the quotas and so their goods were simply taken away from them and instead were given to the cities and the military.
