This U.S. Navy Vice Admiral flag is believed to have belonged to Admiral Frank Fletcher during his service in World War II. It was donated to the National Museum of the United States Navy by the Wisniewski and Hildebrandt families during a presentation ceremony on Monday at the Military Intelligence Soldier Heritage Learning Center on Fort Huachuca

A competent officer whose actions suffered by being second-guessed by people who weren’t there. One can say he didn’t deserve to be side-lined after the eastern Solomon battle, but would Spruance have gotten his chance if he wasn’t?

TONK, even we Arizona Army Doggies, show respect

Admiral Fletcher's single greatest command decision was turning over command of the U.S. carrier force to Admiral Spruance at the Battle of Midway, after the Yorktown was disabled. Truly a selfless decision ("patriotism in action," as Prange put it), and it gave the brilliant Admiral Spruance a free hand to successfully conclude the battle.

Have not cared for Adm. Fletcher since my DI told us the story of him abandoning
the 1st Marine Division on Guadalcanal without a good chunk of their supply. ;~)
