At the formalities bestowing Admiral Nimitz's rank on Torrey, he said, "After the formalities of the ceremonies peter out, join Egan and me." Torrey was briefed and then Nimitz handed him his old 2 stars for the collar, and said, "If there was any luck in them, you're gonna need it." Torrey thanked him, and then still standing, within his "zone" (to Nimitz), he merely turned and left. In practice, this would never happen. Torrey would have taken one step rearward still facing Nimitz, came to attention, and then been "dismissed", although it might have been an understood dismissal and not verbalized.
