Holloway was born in Charleston, South Carolina, on February 23, 1922, the son of Jean Gordon (Hagood) and then-Lieutenant (Junior Grade) James L. Holloway, Jr. (1898–1984), later a full admiral.

His maternal grandfather was Major General Johnson Hagood.

In World War II, Holloway served in destroyers on North Atlantic convoy duty, in North African waters and in the Pacific where he participated in the Battle of Saipan, Battle of Tinian, Battle of Palau and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

He was gunnery officer of the destroyer USS Bennion (DD-662), which at the Battle of Surigao Strait took part in a night torpedo attack which sank the Japanese battleship JAPANESE BATTLESHIP Yamashiro, assisted in the destruction of the destroyer JAPANESE DESTROYER Asagumo, attacked the cruiser JAPANESE CRUISER Mogami with torpedoes, and then the following day shot down two Japanese Zeroes at short range.
