> [@SCAdian](#): > > IQ3: Were you CO of the US Pacific Fleet on 7 Dec 41? Yessss!!! I am Husband E. Kimmel.

Well Done, SCAdian! ---

Figured it must be a senior officer from WW II if he was that old but his WWI service wasn’t important. Thought of Admiral King and General Kenney right off, but it took a while to come up with a third guess… Didn’t have an ‘ **L** ’ selected, but go ahead and start asking your IQs.
