Hey there! It looks like you've asked a multiple choice question without providing the answer choices. Don't worry I found them. They are:
A) He developed and implemented key battle strategies.
B) He made the decision to drop the atomic bomb.
C) He planned bombing raids on Japan from aircraft carriers.

The correct answer is A. Because of his battle strategies the allied powers had an advantage in the Pacific.

Admiral Chester Nimitz affected the Allied victory in the Pacific by developing and implementing key battle strategies.

During the Pacific Campaign in World War II, Nimitz devised the strategy of "Island Hopping", which consisted in not attacking all the islands with Japanese presence during the Pacific campaign, but attacking only the most important ones, skipping the least relevant ones .

In addition, as responsible for American submarines in the Atlantic, Nimitz developed during the First World War the concepts necessary to perform in combat under water. During the Second World War he again put his knowledge in this field into practice when designing the strategy. Under his orders, the submarines of the United States destroyed the Japanese merchant marine in 1945.
