Czy mógłby mi ktoś wyjaśnić skąd ta oczywistość?
To
czysta spekulacja oponenta Halseya. Całkowicie do zignorowania!
Mógłbyś jakoś uzasadnić, jak sobie wyobrażasz ukończenie przez jakiegokolwiek oficera kursu NROTC, względnie Akademii Morskiej Annapolis, bez zaliczenia wiedzy dotyczącej czegoś tak podstawowego jak procedury naprowadzania ognia?

A PO CO CI TA WIEDZA FEREBY?????
W życiu zdarza się popełnić bład, ale dwa razy ten sam to już zalicza się pod
głupotę. Halsey wspomniał Ci już coś o Morisonie, więc dla przypomnienia:
"... Samuel Eliot Morison was born in Boston, Massachusetts to John Holmes Morison (1856–1911) and Emily Marshall (Eliot) Morison (1857–1925) and named for his grandfather Samuel Eliot. His early childhood is charmingly described in a memoir of 1962, entitled "One Boy's Boston."
He married twice and was the father of four children by his first wife, Elizabeth S. Greene. (One of these children, Emily Morison Beck became the editor of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations.) After his wife Elizabeth's death in 1945, in 1949 he married a Baltimore widow, Priscilla Barton. Morison again became a widower in 1973.
Morison died on May 15, 1976 of a stroke at the age of 88, and his ashes are buried at Northeast Harbor, Maine.
His grandson Michael Noyes Morison was known as "Franklin D. Churchill," storyline president of the Millennium Wrestling Federation. He died in June 2006.
Academic career
His schooling was typical for a member of a Boston Brahmin family: he attended Noble and Greenough School (1897–1901) and St. Paul's (1901–03) before enrolling at Harvard, where he would remain for much of his academic life.
Morison earned his AB from Harvard, where he was a member of the Phoenix S.K. Club, in 1908, studied at the École Libre des Sciences Politiques in Paris (1908–1909), and returned to Harvard where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1912. His doctoral thesis, The Life and Letters of Harrison Gray Otis, became Morison's first book.
Upon receiving his doctorate, Morison went to Berkeley to serve as an instructor in history, and, in 1915, returned to Harvard in the same capacity. After spending 1922–25 at Oxford as Harmsworth Professor of American History, he became full professorat Harvard in 1925. Morison was promoted to Jonathan Trumbull Professor of American History in 1941 and retired from Harvard in 1955.
Morison continued writing prolifically after his retirement. He received the Balzan prize for history 1962 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Books
Morison held that experience and research should be combined synergetically for writing vivid history. For his Pulitzer-winning Admiral of the Ocean Sea, Morison combined his personal interest in sailing with his scholarship by chartering a boat and sailing to the various places that Christopher Columbus was then thought to have visited.
Official Historian of US Navy during World War II
Unlike World War I, for which the US military had not prepared a full-scale official history of any branch of service, it was decided that World War II would be meticulously documented. Professional historians were attached to all the branches of the US military; they were embedded with combat units to witness the events about which they would later write.
Toward this end, in 1942, Morison was commissioned into the United States Naval Reserve with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. The result was the History of United States Naval Operations in World War II, a work in fifteen volumes that covered every aspect of America's war at sea, from strategic planning and battle tactics to the technology of war and the exploits of individuals during the conflict. A one-volume abridgement of the official history, The Two Ocean War, was published in 1963.
In recognition of his achievements, the Navy awarded him the Legion of Merit and eventually promoted Morison to the rank of Rear Admiral (Reserve). In addition, the Oliver Hazard Perry class guided-missile frigate, USS Samuel Eliot Morison, was named in his honor.
The celebrated British military historian Sir John Keegan has hailed Morison's official history as the best to come out of the Second World War.
One of his research assistants on that project, Henry Salomon, went on to conceive the epic NBC documentary series Victory at Sea ...".
Jak widać z powyższego nie ukończył żadnego kursu dotyczącego obsługi radarów ani procedur naprowadzania ognia!!! A uzasadnienie dlaczego został zatrudniony to zostawiam właśnie Tobie ...(wystarczy uważnie przeczytać).
Jeśli zaś chodzi o Lundgrena:
"... Robert Lundgren Biography
Updated 18 June 2009
I was born April 9, 1963 in Bethesda, Maryland and have lived in Maryland my entire life. My interest in ships and the Navy began when my Aunt, Ruth Ewing, gave me a book called "Day of Infamy" by Walter Lord when I was 10 years old. She worked for BuShips and her husband, my Uncle, Bill Ewing had been in the Merchant Marine during World War II and their stories continued to peak my interest.
After graduating from high school, I found work as a crewman on passenger ships sailing on the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay, working my way up the ranks to become first mate. In 1985 passed tests given by the United States Coast Guard and became a licensed Captain able to operate 100 gross ton passenger ships for the inland water ways of the United States. I was lucky to be qualified as a river pilot and brought tall ships to Washington DC as well as Jacques Cousteau and his ship Calypso to Mount Vernon. As part of the Smithsonian Institute, I was also lucky enough to be part of the crew which conducted the second survey of the wreck of the USS Monitor on board the Peter W. Anderson.
At night during this time I attended college, hoping to become a naval architect. However, after my parents passed away and the ship company went out of business, I found a job working at the Uniformed Services University for the Health and Sciences, which was run by the Army to train medical students for their first four years. Again, I worked my way up and now work at the National Institute of Health as a Veterinary Anesthesiologist. I met my wife Dawn here at NIH and have now been happily married for the past 16 years. We have two children, Cara and William, of whom I am quite proud.
My interest in the Navy and history however has never faded and I am lucky to be close to the National Archives, Naval Historical Center, Library of Congress, and the Naval Academy to do research. The story of the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal between Kirishima, Washington, and South Dakota was a mystery to me, especially the details on Kirishima. Along with Richard Worth and Sander Kingsepp, I have researched this as well as other topics over the past six years. My story about this battle would not have been possible without the extraordinary help of Nathan Okun, Dr. Robert Ballard, James Grace, who wrote The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal: Night Action, 13 November 1942 Naval Institute Press, 1999, and Charles Haberlein who runs the Naval Historical Center, along with the many staff members at the National Archives. I believe it is the most accurate depiction of the events that transpired that night, however, I am always looking for more material to either add to my knowledge or to correct any errors. My next project is on the Battle of Samar in 1944 ..."
Myśle, że dla znakomitej większości Kolegów wszystko jest jasne. Cokolwiek byś nie starał się "wykombinować" Fereby.
Ja, zdecydowanie wolałbym znaleźć się na mostku z Lundgrenem, niż z Morisonem.
