Jesse Oldendorf (1887-1974) retired as an admiral of the U.S. Navy in 1948, after a distinguished World War II career best known for his victory at the Battle of Surigao Strait. He was a gunnery specialist who, as the battleship became obsolete as the dominant naval force, remained an expert in the use of naval gunfire support.
