"Jasper" Holmes (April 4, 1900 – January 7, 1986) was a US Naval officer, one of the Station HYPO staff, who had the idea of faking a water supply failure on Midway Island in 1942.

He wrote submarine adventure stories for the Saturday Evening Post and technical articles under the pen name Alec Hudson.

[2][3] One of the former, "Rendezvous", imagined an air raid in which flying boats were refueled by submarines at a Pacific atoll, allowing them to reach targets which would normally be well outside their range.

Unlike the massive carrier-based surprise attack three months earlier, this only involved two aircraft and failed due to bad weather.

Naval Intelligence chief Edwin T. Layton later concluded that the Japanese had made use of the idea from "Rendezvous" when planning the operation.
