      I sympathize with your point of view. However, if that had been done (even assuming that it was legally possible), who would have been available to do the loading and unloading of ships. Maybe it seems as though all you’d need would be a strong back, but actually it’s a skill set.

      His problem was that he was not a combat leader. There were many senior officers at the start of the war that proved to be inadequate for the job.

      From Wiki: "Ghormley was chosen for the command on the recommendations of Admiral Chester Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief, United States Pacific Fleet, and Admiral King. It is possible that he was appointed to the position over other commanders with superior carrier and aviation expertise and experience because of his association with President Roosevelt."
      He was over his head in all of this. Nimitz eventually sent him packing and replaced him with Halsey...

      Yes, the filler that fills in the gaps in other tellings of the stories.
      2 hours of a battle can generate 1000's of hours from various perspectives.
