Where did Chester W. Nimitz fought during world war 2?

Answer 1

In late December 1941 Nimitz took over as Commander in Chief, Pacific (CINCPAC). This was the commander of the US Navy (and its Marine Corps). He held this position for the rest of the war, with his headquarters in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Nimitz was also the Commander of the Central Pacific Theater of Operations. His command was limited to the "Central Pacific", because US Army General Douglas MacArthur had escaped the Philippines and was in Australia. MacArthur had such prestige, as former commander of the US Army for four years in the thirties, that it was necessary to carve out a theater command for him, so MacArthur commanded the Southwest Pacific Theater of Operations, and more or less cooperated and coordinated operations with Nimitz in the Central Pacific.

IN WWI Nimitz was executive officer of the USS Maumee, a tanker, when the US entered the war. Nimitz became an aide to Admiral Samuel S. Robinson, Commander, Submarine Force, Atlantic Fleet on August 10, 1917. He was based at the Navy Base in Norfolk, Virginia. On February 6, 1918 Nimitz became Chief of Staff for Robinson of the Atlantic submarine Force. On September 16, 1918 Nimitz was assigned to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, in Washington DC. In the office of the CNO Nimitz became Senior Member, Board of Submarine Design, on October 25, 1918.

Answer 2

Admiral Nimitz was the Fleet Admiral of the US Naval Fleet in the Pacific Ocean. He fought all over the Pacific leading the Navy ships and vessels in many battles. He won nearly all his battles. Many credit him with defeating the Japanese Navy and even the Army (by destroying their supplies on the Japanese ships).
