Actualy Kimmel sent 46 warships to open sea to the safety in late November
without notifying Washington.
When White house learned of Kimmels move Washington ordered all ships to return
to the base.
Battleships and their crews were expendable and their intended role was playing
sitting ducks.

Your "source" returns document not found.
And I'm not talking about normal training sorties. I'm talking about the
mission to ferry a USMC fighter squadron to Wake.

And the fact that Adm Halsey, with all the same information that Adm Kimmel
had stated he intended to shoot down any Japanese aircraft he encountered
and sink any IJN ships that he might find.

Care to explain why he drew different conclusions from teh same info his
boss had ?
