Chester William Nimitz (February 24, 1885 - February 20, 1966) was an admiral in the U.S. Navy who held a number of important military posts during his career. He commanded both the United States Pacific Fleet ("CinCPac") for the Navy and served as Commander in Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas ("CinCPOA") for the U.S. and allied air, land and sea forces during World War II. He was also considered one of the leading authorities on submarines.
Chester W. Nimitz and Douglas MacArthur were credited with being directly responsible for the Allied victory in the Pacific during WW II. Nimitz was the United States' last Fleet Admiral.
He suffered a stroke in 1965, but was released from Oak Knoll Navy Hospital in January of 1966. He died of complications of his stroke and pneumonia on February 20, 1966 in his naval quarters, Quarters One, on Yerba Bueno Island in the San Francisco Bay.
