Admiral Nimitz:
I'd like you to recommend your own replacement.
Vice Adm. William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.:
Ray Spruance. I know... I know, he's junior to a lot of other flag officers, and never served a day on a carrier. But Chet, he *knows* carrier tactics.
[beat]
Vice Adm. William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.:
Well, you asked for my recommendation.
Admiral Nimitz:
I can just imagine Washington's reaction if I hand over the Enterprise and the Hornet to a cruiser skipper. Especially after all the static I've been getting about going out looking for the Japanese at Midway.
Vice Adm. William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.:
You told me once, Chet. When you're in command, command.
