Best Answer

One of them was Hyman G. Rickover, the "Father of the Nuclear Navy". Rickover was a fanatic about nuclear power for submarines, and his legacy of a hundred or so nearly-silent submarines that can stay submerged at full speed for weeks on end was a game-changer.

As a retired Naval officer and something of a military historian, I cannot think of anybody else whose impact has been so great.
