Task Force 16 (TF16) was 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 cruisers Salt 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.

  • Task Force 16 (TF 16) byl operační svaz amerického námořnictva, bojující v Tichomoří během druhé světové války. TF 16 byl vytvořen v únoru 1942. Jeho prvním velitelem se stal viceadmirál William Halsey, Jr. Jádrem svazu byla letadlová loď USS Enterprise a těžké křižníky USS Salt Lake City a USS Northampton, které doprovázel půltucet torpédoborců (časem se složení doprovodu Enterprise měnilo). V dubnu 1942 se svaz s spojil s , jehož jádrem byla letadlová loď USS Hornet a společně uskutečnily Doolitlův nálet na Tokio. Když Halsey onemocněl, převzal velení TF 16 Raymond A. Spruance a úspěšně ho vedl během bitvy u Midway. V srpnu 1942 svaz podporoval americké vylodění na Guadalcanalu, bojoval v bitvách u východních Šalomounů (srpen 1942), u ostrovů Santa Cruz (říjen 1942) a v námořní bitvě u Guadalcanalu (listopad 1942). TF 16 také podporoval svaz TF 18 bojující u Rennellova ostrova. V březnu 1943 se Task Group 16.6 (složka TF 16) střetla s japonskými křižníky v bitvě u Komandorských ostrovů a celý TF 16 se podílel na znovudobytí Aleut. V letech 1944–1945 se svaz změnil na jednotku určenou pro doplňování paliva a tvořily ho pouze tankery a eskortní torpédoborce. (cs)
