Spruance will always have my respect for being in charge at Midway. He led the US fleet to victory in the single most cruicial battle of the Pacific campaign. Maybe luck was on his side but I'm sure there were ways he could have royally screwed up...but didn't.

Spruance wasn't in charge at Midway, Fletcher was. After Yorktown was damaged, Fletcher released Spruance to operate on his own.
