I agree Bellinger is the better choice, in addition to the above stats he also has a slight edge in aggressiveness, something I want in my CV commanders

If you look at the stats you listed, Bellinger has the edge in everything but airops where he is 8 pts under. Both men do have good airop ratings though, they are in the top 3 in US RADM's. While airops is a primary need for a CV commander, I think Bellinger's edge in inspiration and aggressiveness tips the scales in his favor. You are making a good choice with either man though.

So, do you think "overall" is the standard by which Carrier TF commanders are picked? McCain has a better "air-ops"....How are you deciding?

Yes, you answered my question. Its just a shame that we don't have a little bit more info. about commanders when "in-game" and trying to make a choice. Your spread sheet is a blessing......

But, maybe you should follow the game numbers, where ever they come from.
