Removed 'returned to the combat zone' because it never mentioned him leaving it (previous sentence discussed Battle of Leyte Gulf. DJ Clayworth 16:02, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Before I make changes here, am I the only person to read Samuel Elliot Morrison's A Short History. . . and noted that the nickname "Bull" is exactly that? The only people that called him "Bull" were the press, and they didn't have the courage to do it to his face. His nickname was "Bill," for goodness sake. TDKozan 08:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Certainly the reason quoted for the alleged nickname is wrong (It was a misquote of "Bill") and would be beter if it was revised. Nigel Ish 21:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

William Halsey's flag ship was not the USS Missouri. It was the New Jersey. The surrender was signed on the Missouri because it was a new addition to the fleet and was named after the home state of President Truman. Tcarsonmclean 19:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
