When You're In Command, Command.

The U.s.'s Major Strength Factor And Weapon Is Its Economy. If You Cripple It, You Cripple The Military.

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.

The Japanese Had, In Fact, Already Sued For Peace. The Atomic Bomb Played No Decisive Part, From A Purely Military Point Of View, In The Defeat Of Japan.

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

When You're In Command, Command.
