THE BRITISH PACIFIC FLEET: THE ROYAL NAVY'S MOST
POWERFUL

was responsible to the Admiralty for the general direction of his
Fleet, he took operational orders from the American Admiral
Nimitz, answered to the Government of Australia for the
construction and maintenance of a vast base infrastructure, and to
other Commonwealth Governments for the ships and men that formed
his fully-integrated multi-national fleet.
