Talk:James Lyons (admiral)/@comment-71.204.227.77-20180304165250

The embellishment of his bio is a bit confusing. He must know that his position as Commander Pacific Fleet is subordinate to the overall regional commander, Commander in Chief, Pacific (CINCPAC). Adm Lyons command as CINCPAC-Fleet was a undeniable sizable responsibility but made up only a part of his military superior's vast responsibility including command of the all Army, Airforce, Marines, and Lyons Navy Fleet in the Pacific.

It would also be interesting to know what his responsibility was as one of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations. Not to be confused with the single office of Vice Chief of Naval Operations, there could be as many as eight deputies with different areas of assigned responsibilities.
