Raymond Spruance
Raymond Ames Spruance was an admiral in the US Navy during World War II. He commanded the US navy in one of the most important naval battles that took place at the Theater of the Pacific: the Battle of the Philippine Sea. He also commanded Task Force 16 at the Battle of Midway, which included the carriers Enterprise and Hornet. At Midway, Enterprise dive bombers paralyzed two aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy, Kaga and the flagship Akagi. Most historians consider Midway to be the turning point of the Pacific War. Official Navy historian Samuel Eliot Morison called Spruance's performance "amazing" and was dubbed the "electric brain" for his composure even in times of ultimate crisis. His reputation is underpinned by his successful tactics. One of the greatest admirals in US naval history appeared after the war. After the war, Spruance was appointed principal of the Naval War College and later US Ambassador to the Philippines.
