If You're Not Making Waves, You're Not

Leadership Consists Of Picking Good Men And Helping Them Do Their Best.

We Shall Never Forget That It Was Our Submarines That Held The Lines Against The Enemy While Our Fleets Replaced Losses And Repaired Wounds.

When I Assumed Command Of The Pacific Fleet In 31 December, 1941; Our Submarines Were Already Operating Against The Enemy, The Only Units Of The Fleet That Could Come To Grips With The Japanese For Months To Come. It Was To The Submarine Force That I Looked To Carry The Load Until Our Great Industrial Activity Could Produce The Weapons We So Sorely Needed To Carry The War To The Enemy. It Is To The Everlasting Honor And Glory Of Our Submarine Personnel That They Never Failed Us In Our Days Of Peril.

I Felt That It Was An Unnecessary Loss Of Civilian Life... We Had Them Beaten. They Hadn't Enough Food, They Couldn't Do Anything.

The Enemy Of Our Games Was Always Japan, And The Courses Were So Thorough That After The Start Of World War Ii, Nothing That Happened In The Pacific Was Strange Or Unexpected.
