John Lesslie Hall, Jr. was born on 11 April 1891 in Williamsburg, Va . He entered the Naval Academy in 1909 and graduated in June 1913. As a junior officer he
served in USS North Dakota (BB 29) and Utah (BB 31). During WW I he trained engineering personnel on USS Illinois (BB 7) and was engineering officer
of Philip (DD 76). During the years following WW I he had sea duty, mainly in destroyers, and served ashore as a Naval Academy instructor.
From the mid-1920s until 1934, Lcdr. Hall was an Aide to the Naval District commandant at Charleston SC, Executive Officer of Camden (AS 6), CO of Childs
(DD 241), spent three years with the Naval Academy's physical training and athletics programs, and was Navigator of Wyoming (BB 32). Promoted to Commander in 1934, he went
to the Far East to serve in Augusta (CA 31) and then commanded the gunboat Asheville and a destroyer division. During the later 1930s Commander Hall was at
the Naval War College, initially as a student, then as a member of the staff. In July 1940 he achieved the rank of Captain and was given command of Arkansas (BB 33). This
was followed by staff duty with elements of the Atlantic Fleet.
In mid-1942 John L. Hall was temporarily appointed Rear Admiral during the invasion of Morocco, and that fall was Chief of Staff to the operation's Naval commander. He then commanded the
Naval forces and facilities in that region. Holding amphibious force commands from February 1943 onwards, Radm. Hall was in charge of important components of the invasions of Sicily in July
of that year and of the Italian mainland in September. He was sent to England in November to help prepare for the invasion of France and the Normandy landings where he commanded the assault
on "Omaha" Beach. Transferred to the Pacific Fleet's Amphibious Forces in October, he participated in the invasion of Okinawa in the spring of 1945.
In October 1945 he became Commander Amphibious Forces, Pacific Fleet, receiving the rank of Vice Admiral a few months later. Following service as Commandant, Fourteenth Naval District, and
Commander Hawaiian Sea Frontier, in 1948 he became Commandant of the Armed Forces Staff College. Vadm. Hall's final assignment was as Commander Western Sea Frontier and Commander Pacific
Reserve Fleet from August 1951 until his retirement in May 1953. Upon leaving active duty, he was advanced to the rank of Admiral on the basis of his combat awards. John L. Hall, Jr., died
at Scottsdale, Ariz. on 06 March 1978.

22 August 1998: Key West, Fla. - John L. Hall departs for sea in preparation for Panamax 2004. Naval forces from eight countries are participating
in Panamax 2004, a naval exercise designed to build up a coalition response to security threats against the Panama Canal. PANAMAX is conducted under the direction of Commander
Naval Forces Southern Command and involves the identification, monitoring and interdiction of vessels posing a simulated terrorist threat to the Canal. The multinational force includes
surface and air assets from Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Panama, Peru and the United States operating in the north and south approaches to the Canal.
Panamax’s realistic scenario develops not only interoperability among naval forces but also joint and inter-agency interoperability as the naval forces work together with other
services and agencies of Panama to ensure the safety of the Canal and to protect freedom of navigation.
