Chester Nimitz was a fleet admiral of the US Navy and played a major role in the naval history of WW II as Commander in Chief of the US Pacific Fleet and CiC of Pacific Ocean Areas. By Act of Congress, passed on December 14, 1944, the rank of fleet admiral - the highest rank in the Navy - was established, and the next day President Franklin Roosevelt appointed Nimitz to that rank. In 1907 as an ensign, he was commanding a destroyer which ran aground in mud banks, for which he was court-martialed. Nimitz was the leading US Navy authority on submarines and oversaw the conversion of submarines from gasoline to diesel, and later acquired approval to build the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus. He was the last surviving US fleet admiral. The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier was named after him.
