The plan was good, but what was really decisive was that his subordinates understood the plan and their roles in it.
Admiral Horatio Nelson's plan for the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 involved a bold and unconventional tactic of attacking the combined French and Spanish fleets in two columns, rather than a traditional line approach. He aimed to break the enemy's line, allowing his ships to engage in close combat, where British naval superiority in training and gunnery could be maximized. Nelson signaled his famous message, "England expects that every man will do his duty," to inspire his crew before the decisive confrontation. This strategy ultimately led to a significant British victory, ensuring naval dominance for years to come.
Yes but had to abbandon his plans following Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Nelson was outnumbered by the French and Spanish, but he knew that his force was superior in every other area. Instead of sailing alongside them and firing as was conventional, he sailed his ships on a perpendicular course directly into the enemy fleet and split them, throwing them into confusion.Good command and control and good gunnery (manned by good crewmen).

Admiral Kimmel did put the fleet on wartime status and sent patrols out but did not have time to effectively plan out his retaliatory strikes against the Japanese as he was relieved of command in a little more than a week after Pearl Harbor.

From intercepted messages :)
In the decisive battle of Salamis 480 BCE, the Greek side was commanded by the Spartan admiral Eurybiades.
Union Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles and his assistant Gustavus V. Fox believed that the navy could capture Charleston without the assistance of the army. Rear Admiral Du Pont believed such a plan would not work. This led to his replacement by Rear Admiral John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgreen. Dahlgreen was a gunnery expert and had close ties to President Lincoln.
