I'm far more critical of Halsey than Kurita to be honest. Halsey seems to have had trouble getting over not being in command at Midway and not getting that glory, which instead went to Spruance. As a result he wasn't in command at the Battle of the Philippine Sea. He was convinced that he would have done better than Spruance and not let the Zuikaku escape and let Subs take out 2 Japanese fleet carriers instead of US carrier aircraft. He wanted to stroke his ego and prove he was the better admiral. So instead of taking the cautious approach that had led Spruance to not lose a ship, he went super agro and put his command unnecessarily at risk. He should have been relieved of command and sent home in disgrace.
