Oh man, thank you for linking that article so I know what this is referring to. That's pretty damn funny (with solemn respect to history) in a situational irony kind of way. I'm guessing the Japanese text just describes the incident that's why no ones translated it?
The texts itself are just about Halsey’s person, his style of commanding and how he treats his subordinates. Nothing about the quote Lunatic6 is linking :)
