His achievements?

pretty much every single Japanese naval victory. Yamamoto gets most of the credit, though.

Sittin', driftin' around in bubbles, and
Thinkin' it was us that carried them
When we finally got it figured out
That we had truly missed the boat

Manstein wasn't bad. His encirclements at Kharkov and the siege train at Sevastopol were magnificent.

I am more interested in the Naval engagements. And no, Nagumo doesn't > Manstein, Rommel>Manstein

Rommel on land, Nagumo on sea.
