Best Answer

The Allied Naval Forces went after the Japanese island by island in the South Pacific. That strategy was called island hopping. Admiral Chester Nimitz was in charge of the Pacific Theater naval actions. So he earned the name Island Hopper.

General MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz adopted a strategy known as?

Both MacArthur and Nimitz knew the major islands held by the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean had to be taken by the US. They developed an Island Hopping strategy. They would skip every other island they came to (there were too many small islands to deal with). This would cut off supply lines to the islands they skip, lessen casualties, and save a lot of time. Japan had made the error of not devoting enough of its army to the Pacific Islands. They also failed to have enough aircraft carriers. This gave the US an advantage.
