Yamamoto, the greatest generator of naval and aviation wargames in the historical record. Even his death is a fun game. - Ix |

Not a "fighting" Admiral, but it is hard to overlook Canaris. Charles Lockwood, ComSubPac. |

Spruance. Proved it doesn't take a massive ego to be a great leader. Cunningham was one heck of a good man as well. |

Nimitz. It's hard to imagine someone being more effective than he was. |

Yep – Canaris was probably the greatest unsung hero of the entire war… |

Halsey. Clear, simple and straightforward. |

There are so many excellent ones to chose from. For me though my favorite is Canaris simply because of the double life he led. Chief of Military Intelligence for the Germans and a dedicated anti-Nazi and head of the resistance. What a complex character- and he survived so long! |

Cunningham (ABC) as a commander at sea, but also great admiration for Ramsey as a planner. |
