Task Force 16 is one of the most storied task forces in the United States Navy, a major participant in a number of the most important battles of the Pacific War.
It was formed in mid-February 1942 around Enterprise (CV-6), with Vice Admiral William F. Halsey in command of the force, and supported by cruisersSalt Lake City (CA-25) and Northampton (CA-26), along with a half-dozen destroyers.
Halsey was then hospitalized with a skin disease, so Rear Admiral Raymond A. Spruance took over TF 16 and along with TF 17, led it to victory in the Battle of Midway.
TaskForce16 is one of the most storied taskforces in the United States Navy, a major participant in a number of the most important battles of the Pacific War.
In August, the taskforce supported the landings on Guadalcanal, then fought in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, followed by the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands[?] in October, the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal[?] in November, and covered the retreat of TF 18[?] after the Battle of Rennell Island[?].
The Task 14 Force recommends that the responsibility for cost overruns and construction 15 management be clearly delineated in the lease between the franchise and the facility 16 landlord, but under no circumstances should the state be considered as a financing 17 source for cost overruns.
The TaskForce anticipates that the 04 state will identify parameters for determining state participation and the location of the 05 facility or facilities will be determined through a negotiated agreement between the 06 franchise (tenant) and the local unit(s) of government (landlord).
The TaskForce recommends that any state financing not be released until the 12 team has negotiated a lease with a landlord, which may be a local unit of 13 government.
