Admiral dead
A retired United States Navy officer, Admiral Joseph (“Jocko”) Clark, who became known as "the Patton of the Pacific” for ’his aggressiveness against Japanese units in the Second World War, has died, aged 77. He served twice as Assistant Chief of United States Naval Operations in Washington, but it was his daring in battle that distinguished his career of 40 years as a naval officer.— New York, July 14,
