During world war ii, who was the commander-in-chief of the pacific fleet? dwight d. eisenhower douglas macarthur chester nimitz george s. patton

The right answer is Chester Nimitz.

General MacArthur was put in charge of South-West Pacific Command, a land- and sea-based plan that would liberate islands such as Papua New Guinea and then continue through their region until the Philippines could be liberated. From this base, the assault could take place in Japan. Then Admiral Chester Nimitz, the US Navy’s Commander in Chief Pacific, was put in charge of the Pacific Ocean areas. This latter command would take a more northerly route across that ocean, with a vast and increasing naval force, and with a plan to island hop until they could meet up with the MacArthur forces for a joint invasion of enemy territory. He had none of MacArthur’s flair for publicity, but he was, unquestionably, one of the very greatest American commanders of the war.
