Somerville and command of an Azur Lane coalition

Which World War II admiral would be best to command the multinational force in Azur Lane's Rondo at Rainbow's End scenario?

Somerville is favoured because coordinating British, American, German and Japanese forces would place a premium on communications expertise.

The Azur Lane scenario brings together forces corresponding to the British, American, German and Japanese navies. Somerville is the preferred commander because coordinating that coalition would demand strong communications expertise. Lee is suggested as the American choice if the task were chiefly a gunnery problem. Cunningham is distinguished as a destroyer officer, while Beatty belongs to World War I and provides a cautionary comparison about communication at Jutland. The Jutland comparison criticizes Beatty for blaming his communications officer and suggests Somerville as an alternative appointment. The judgments concern real admirals applied to a fictional operation.
