Fleet leader and Carpet bombing would also be my choice. But I haven't bought him yet since Arnold can be almost as good on carriers.

I vote for FL and Sailor then. FL and Inspiration could be interesting too. FL with Inspiration sounds intriguing. High morale with more power. |

Sailor is good but it cannot counter submarines and artilleries. Yamaguchi cannot restore his health with counterattack.
Rumour is good but there are too many generals with rumour. Yamaguchi can attack confused enemies to replenish his health.
Explosive is good but not attacking cities often.
Inspiration is good for anti-rumour and increases attack but the ship attacks only one time.

Yamaguchi is a stock Aircraft Carrier Skipper.
Unless he is posted on an AC like the Akagi, which can counter attack BTS/battleship or cruiser volleys from +2 range, the skills listed would be useless. Even inspiration wouldn't activate from an AC attack.
Unlike Donitz which is a true Naval surface ship commander which can benefit from any of the same skills.
Keep in mind that ACs are prone to submarine, any unit with +2 range attack, and even Air attacks.
If he is to be used on ACs as intended, judging by his base skills, and stars, i would use other skills, like cover or carpet bombing, for example.
And whomever believes Yamaguchi is the "best NAVY" general, has never been in the Navy. An air general here, is not a boat skipper.
My vote: None of the Above.

If you are really judging by his skills you should understand focusing Yamaguchi on air is a tremendous waste. |

One judges all by his base skills and potential.
Yamaguchi has Air Force Leader, automatically disqualifying him as "best Navy" commander, unlike Donitz who is a true Navy commander according to his skills.
Yamaguchi's couture makes him ideal for the Akagi (AC/CV), which will allow him to use his skills as both an air commander and enable him to make use of his special skill when he counter-attacks cruisers and BTS as the Akagi is the only one ive seen capable of doing so. Whereas a commander such as Donitz can be deployed on just about any ship type. Mine is wired for going toe to toe with other ships on cruisers or Bts.
I might be old but I know not to use a tablet as a cutting board and not to use Yamaguchi as a sub skipper.
I would consider Carpet Bombing and Cover, taking advantage of his air skill and early warning base skills making him a threat from long range and stalwart(hard to sink) up close. On the Akagi, he would be formidable.

And as we figured out it is best suited for Battleships. He's quite good at commanding Akagi, no doubt about that. But on Battleships he is almost unkillable. Like Horton of challenge conquests. |

On the Akagi, he would be formidable. I don't see depot ship as a useful skill either (15 hp per turn for 1k+ hp ships?), so Yamaguchi is pretty much tied to Donitz and Raeder in terms of the number of useful skills. And obviously sea raid is much much better than any other navy skill. Donitz and Raeder aren't even recommended this version anymore. |

You said it yourself: "Yet his unique....But on Battleships...etc." his Air skill is for ACs....and this is why he cannot be the "best boat commander". Did you know that there is a Naval Base in Tennessee called Millington NAS? Think about that. If you are familiar with it... No seaports. This alludes to why Yamaguchi's Rate, and not his Rank, defines him. Guderian isnt limited to any Armor, but Yamaguchi is limited as to Navy. Thanks for sharing and noting that his Air skill limits him as a boat skipper. |

Id used Donitz vs Yamaguchi, in a challenge on each vessel type....and my money would be on Donitz as overall winner everytime, even if he loses in AC vs AC, Donitz is still the better Navy Captain in all other vessel types/categories. Yamaguchi is better than Nimitz,... but Nimitz is cheaper. Yamaguchi should be compared to other AC commanders, not all Navy commanders. Their skills set them apart per category, unlike Tank commanders.

Yamaguchi easily beats every admiral in this game in damage and survivability. Put him on AC and he's just another general with 6* AF. |

Thanks for sharing and noting that his Air skill limits him as a boat skipper. You say that Air Commander skill limits him in his role as Navy general. I would say, on the contrary, that it improves his chances to be useful on land. With Rumor and his Air skill his usability on land far exceeds that of other Admirals. His unique skill has two component parts. The first one is to increase his overall damage by 40% when commanding naval units. Even without the second part of this skill it is easily a huge advantage over other Admirals. The second part is to restore 5% of health every turn. Even some p2w generals have some preliminary conditions like "when the health is under 50%" and such. Here we have an unconditional heal and since Battleships have a huge amount of HP it is easily one of the best self-healing skill in the game (only IAP Marshall can beat him in this respect). So, instead of 5 Naval skills, Yamaguchi actually has 6: 5 for commanding Navy and one bonus skill that comes in handy when there aren't any waters around. |
