William Halsey in Days of Infamy
Vice-Admiral William Halsey (1882-1941) was aboard his flagship USS Enterprise on December 7, 1941, when Japan began its invasion of the American territory of Hawaii by attacking Pearl Harbor. The Enterprise and the rest of the fleet rushed to engage the Japanese navy but were surprised by several squadrons of Japanese Zeros. The Enterprise was heavily damaged by the Japanese planes. Halsey died in the attack.

''Note: It is not explicitly stated that Halsey died. However, he is never referred to again after the Enterprise is sunk, which strongly suggests he did.''

William Halsey in "Joe Steele"
William Halsey was very successful in prosecuting the Pacific Theater of World War II. Had he not been, President Joe Steele would have executed him.

William Halsey in Southern Victory
William Halsey was a commodore in the U.S. Navy during the Second Great War. He commanded Naval forces in the Chesapeake Bay.

In 1942, he agreed to transport Daniel MacArthur's army to the Virginia Peninsula without informing the General Staff. The landing was called off when MacArthur's subordinate General Abner Dowling informed the General Staff of the plan against MacArthur's wishes and without his knowledge.
