Who coined the phrase 'honor respect and devotion to duty' and when?
Quote from the Related Link: " I often refer to defining our core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty, not from the group in 1993, which I was a part of that came up with these words - but rather going back almost 70 years ago when then-Commandant, VADM Harry G. Hamlet penned the words to 'The Creed of the Coast Guardsman' (see back cover). In the second paragraph or phrase of the creed, you'll clearly find the words, 'honor, respect, and devotion to duty,' spelled out with the same emphasis as it is used today."

What happened on the battle of the leyte gulf in 1944?
The Japanese Combined Fleet sortied out in full strength in an attempt to crush General Douglas MacArthur's US 6th Army as it invaded the central Philippine Island of Leyte. To do this, they would have to lure away the powerful American carrier groups guarding the 6th's landings. The Japanese Navy knew that by this point in the war it was weaker than the Americans, and could not prevail over them in a straight-up fight. So, they relied on deception to carry out their plan. The Japanese divided their fleet into three groups: the Northern, Center, and Southern. The Northern Force, under Jisaburo Ozawa, was the so-called 'decoy force.' It contained some of Japan's last aircraft carriers, including the Zuikaku, the last veteran of the Pearl Harbor attack. These carriers were largely empty as Japan's carrier based air arm was virtually nonexistent by then. But the Americans had no knowledge of this; they would believe Ozawa's ships were packed with aircraft and pilots. The other two Japanese groups, the Center and Southern, were composed of surface warships. The more powerful of the two, the Center force, was lead by Vice Admiral Takeo Kurita. No less than 5 battleships, including Yamato and Musashi, the largest and most powerful ever built, along with a huge assortment of cruisers and destroyers, were at his disposal. The Southern force, under Vice Admiral Shoji Nishimura, was also powerful. It comprised the battleships Fuso and Yamashiro, along with an array of supporting cruisers and destroyers. The Japanese plan was to have the northern force attempt to distract the mighty US carrier fleet, under Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey, long enough for the center and southern forces, maneuvering through the channels of the Philippine archipelago, to converge on Leyte Gulf and destroy MacArthur's helpless 6th Army as it unloaded from its transport ships. At first the Japanese scheme appeared to have succeeded. Upon detecting Ozawa's carriers, Admiral Halsey rushed north with the bulk of his own, along with America's most powerful modern battleships. The Japanese center force, the Americans believed, was in full retreat after an airstrike destroyed the battleship Musashi. But Kurita's force only made a temporary withdrawal. After a short time, he swung back around and continued toward Leyte Gulf. There was little there to stop them. Meanwhile, the southern force, under VAdm Nishimura sailed straight into a carefully laid ambush under VAdm Jesse Oldendorf. Oldendorf's force included 6 battleships, many of them raised from the muck of Pearl Harbor, and a large grouping of cruisers, destroyers, and patrol boats. Although Nishimura detected Oldendorf's force on radar, he pressed on and was annihilated within minutes. The remnants of the southern force, now under the overall command of VAdm Shima, retreated and were no longer a factor in the battle. However, with Halsey's carriers in the north and Oldendorf's battleships in the south, there was nothing to stop the renewed approach of Kurita's center force through the San Bernardino Strait. Only a few small groups under VAdm Clifton A.F. Sprague, centered around several small 'escort carriers,' was in a position to intervene. The American escort carriers were not like Halsey's giants. They were small, slow, and thin-skinned, with a limited compliment of aircraft and an even more limited assortment of weapons. They and their small escorts were horribly outclassed by the Japanese leviathans. But they were the only thing standing between the 250,000 men of the 6th Army and a bloody massacre at the hands of Kurita's murderous guns, so Sprague was determined to fight to the end. The American group that was closest to the Japanese ships was code-named "Taffy 3." Taffy 3 contained 6 escort carriers, 3 destroyers, and 4 destroyer escorts. By the end of the battle, two of the carriers and three of the other ships would be sunk. All the rest would sustain damage. For several hours on October 25, 1944, the American force would fight one of the most desperate naval actions in history. Their resistance was such that Admiral Kurita, unsure of what he was facing (he was haunted by doubts that Sprague's group was actually Halsey's 3rd Fleet), decided to order a retreat. The center force departed, and the 6th Army was spared. The Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle of all time, had come to an end. It claimed the lives of 3,500 American and 10,000 Japanese sailors. Following this catastrophe, the Imperial Japanese Navy's surface force effectively ceased to exist.

How many three star officers are in the US Military?
Air Force, Army and Marine Corps The United States Code explicitly limits the total number of generals that may be concurrently active to 302 for the Army, 279 for the Air Force, and 80 for the Marine Corps. For the Army and Air Force, no more than 16.3% of the service's active duty general officers may have more than two stars. Some of these slots are reserved by statute. For example, the Army and the Air Force, the Surgeon General and the Judge Advocate General for both branches are lieutenant generals. Officers serving in certain intelligence positions are not counted against either limit, including the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The President may also add three-star slots to one service if they are offset by removing an equivalent number from other services. Finally, all statutory limits may be waived at the President's discretion during time of war or national emergency. http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieutenant_general_(United_States) Navy U.S. Code of law explicitly limits the total number of vice admirals that may be on active duty at any given time. The total number of active-duty flag officers is capped at 216 for the Navy. For the Navy, no more than 16.3% of the service's active-duty flag officers may have more than two stars. Some of these slots are reserved by statute. For example the Surgeon General of the United States Navy is a vice admiral. The Judge Advocate General of the Navy is a vice admiral in the Navy or a lieutenant general in the Marine Corps; the Surgeon General of the United States is also vice admiral in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Officers serving in certain intelligence positions are not counted against either limit, including the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency . The President may also add vice admirals to the Navy if they are offset by removing an equivalent number of three-star officers from other services. Finally, all statutory limits may be waived at the President's discretion during time of war or national emergency. http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_admiral_(United_States)
How many 4 Star Admirals are there in the U.S. Navy and what Commands are they?
The rank is an appointed one, and goes with the position they're appointed into. The requirement is that they be an Admiral of lower rank before being appointed. By U.S. law, there is a specific cap on the number of active duty Navy flag officers who can serve at any one time, which is 216. Of that number, only 16% can be of 2-Star rank, and of those 16%, only 25% of them can be appointed to 4-Star positions. That equates to 9 4-Star Admirals toward the cap limit.They must be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Admiral cap includes the Coast Guard, Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Commissioned Corps for purposes of the total number of 4-Star Admirals.There are several positions that are reserved by law for 4-Star Admirals that count toward the cap limit:Chief of Naval OperationsVice Chief of Naval OperationsDirector, Naval Nuclear Propulsion (Office of Naval Reactors)Commandant of the Coast GuardPublic Health Service Commissioned Corps (Assistant Secretary of Health, if appointed by the President)There are positions that Admirals can be appointed to that rate 4 Stars, but don't count toward the overall cap limit (e.g, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Director of the CIA, Joint Commands). This is why the current number (as of February 2010) of 4-Star Admirals on active duty is 10 for the Navy, with one Vice Admiral currently in the middle of the appointment / confirmation process for promotion to 4-Star rank. They are:1. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) - ADM Michael G. Mullen2. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) - ADM Gary Roughead3. Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO) - ADM Jonathan W. Greenert4. Director, Naval Nuclear Propulsion - ADM Kirkland H. Donald5. Commander, U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) andSupreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) - ADM James G. Stavridis6. Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFLTFORCOM) - ADM John C. Harvey, Jr.7. Commander, U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) - ADM Robert F. Willard8. Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) - ADM Eric T. Olson9. Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe (USNAVEUR) -Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Africa (USNAVAF) andCommander, Allied Joint Force Command Naples (JFC Naples)- ADM Mark P. Fitzgerald10. Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet (USPACFLT) - ADM Patrick M. WalshNominated and Pending Senate Confirmation -Commander, U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) andCommander, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) - VADM James A. Winnefeld, Jr.It should be noted that like anything in the military or government, the cap limit can be exceed in times of war or emergency should the President deem it necessary.
