Historical events turn into movies

This claim too is incorrect:

Quote:Admiral Nimitz's direction to Spruance "was to capture, occupy and defend
Saipan, Guam and Tinian and develop air bases in these islands." Nimitz's orders said
nothing about qoinq on the offensive against an enemy fleet.

Nimitz's caveat to Halsey came about as a result of Spruance's refusal to leave the area of the invasion and engage Ozawa to the west, according to both Trent Hone and Craig Symonds.
