: Second World War: Chuichi Nagumo [1886-1944]:
Almirante japonês da Segunda Grande Guerra, comandante da força naval de intervenção rápida que atacou Pearl Harbor em Dezembro de 1941. Japanese Admiral of the Second World War, commander of the naval force for rapid intervention that attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Era um homem cauteloso; depois de os seus aviões terem executado dois ataques a Pearl Harbor, recusou fazer um terceiro, ao que era instado pelos seus comandantes de esquadrilha. It was a cautious man, after their aircraft have carried out two attacks on Pearl Harbor, refused to make a third, which was called by their commanders of fleet. Tal recusa salvou os vastos depósitos de combustível da marinha americana. This refusal saved the vast oil tanks of the U.S. Navy. Se estes tivessem sido destruídos, a frota americana teria sido obrigada a retirar para a costa dos EUA do Pacífico. If they had been destroyed, the U.S. fleet would have been forced to withdraw for the U.S. Pacific coast.

Em Abril de 1942 as forças de Nagumo chegaram ao Oceano Índico, atacaram as bases navais inglesas do Ceilão e afundaram vários navios de guerra. In April 1942 the forces of Nagumo arrived in the Indian Ocean, attacked the British naval bases of Ceylon and sunk several ships of war. Acabaria por ser derrotado na batalha de Midway, em Maio de 1942, embora se tenha saído melhor nas ilhas Salomão e em Santa Cruz, tendo ainda assim perdido muitos dos seus aviões. Acabaria to be defeated in the Battle of Midway in May 1942, although it is best left in the Solomon Islands and in Santa Cruz, and has thus lost many of its aircraft. Foi substituído e enviado para comandar as defesas de Saipan, e suicidou-se quando os americanos conseguiram invadir a ilha em Julho de 1944. It was replaced and sent to command the defenses of Saipan, and suicide when the Americans managed to invade the island in July 1944.
