Ok, a Battleship related question then. In September of 1942, Vice Admiral Willis A Lee assumed command of Battleship division 6 and broke out his flag on USS Washington BB56, in part due to the death of his predecessor a few months earlier. His predecessor, Admiral Wilcox died while in Command of Battleship Division 6. What were the unusual circumstances of Admiral Wilcox's death?
I didn't check all of the previously posted questions, so my apologies if this one has already been covered.
