Chester Nimitz for his Victory at Midway.

Admiral Cunningham never really gets the credit due to his use of Air Power. November 11th 1940 he launches a raid on to Taranto Harbour sinking a number of ships. This raid then sets the Japanese of to raid Pearl Harbour bringing America into WW2 and showing the Americans how to use Naval Air power

There are some truly great men here, I guess in the end it came down to personalities for me. I threw my vote to Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz.

He always appealed to me as being an honourable man.
