* Colm Feore as Admiral Husband E. Kimmel

For example, Admiral Kimmel was not on a golf course on the morning of the attack ( he was planning to meet General Short for a regular game, but cancelled as news of the attack came in ), nor was he notified of the Japanese embassy leaving Washington, D. C., prior to the attack.

Political considerations were thought sufficiently important that he was relieved by Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, who was in command at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

After Admiral James O. Richardson was removed as Commander in Chief, U. S. Fleet and Pacific Fleet in February 1941, Kimmel assumed command with the temporary rank of admiral.

In The World at War, a naval serviceman — who had been alongside Admiral Kimmel during the attack — recalled that as Kimmel watched the destruction of the fleet, he tore off his four-star shoulder boards and replaced them with those of a rear admiral, in apparent recognition of the impending end of his command of the Pacific Fleet.

Some historians, such as submariner Captain Edward L. " Ned " Beach, later believed Admiral Kimmel and Army Lieutenant General Walter Short became scapegoats for the failures of their superiors prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, and that their careers were effectively and unfairly ruined.

Edwin T. Layton ( later Rear Admiral Layton ), chief intelligence officer for Kimmel, and one of the officers who knew Kimmel best, provided support for Kimmel ′ s position in his book And I Was There: Pearl Harbor and Midway — Breaking the Secrets ( 1985 ).

Admiral Layton argued Kimmel had not been provided complete information, and that Kimmel deployed the few reconnaissance resources at his disposal in the most logical way, given the available information.

" If Admiral Husband Kimmel, the commander in Hawaii, had " had advance notice that the Japanese were coming, he most probably would have tried to intercept them.

When he testified at Admiral Kimmel ’ s hearing after the Pearl Harbor debacle, he stated that the Americans had to “ get to the other fellow with everything you have as fast as you can and to dump it on him .” Halsey testified he would never hesitate to use the carrier as an offensive weapon.

In 1941, Layton was the chief intelligence officer for Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet ().

General Short, along with Navy Commander in Chief, U. S. Fleet and Pacific Fleet, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, was accused of being unprepared and charged with dereliction of duty.
