At first glance, Admirals Beatty and Halsey seem to have quite a lot in common, both being graduates of the Leeroy Jenkins School of Naval Warfare who got lots of their own men killed through their recklessness and failures to communicate. However, there seems to be a consensus that Halsey was a significant positive for the U.S. Navy in the early part of the Pacific War (Coral Sea, the runup to Midway, Guadalcanal) and only became a negative later on in the war; in contrast, Beatty does not seem to have benefitted the Royal Navy at any point in WWI in any way. Why is it that Halsey was at least good for his navy early on in its war, whilst Beatty was a considerable negative for his navy throughout its entire war?
