Which admirals would make effective inspectors general

Which historical admirals would have made good inspectors general for an armed force?

Jellicoe is the clearest choice, with Henderson, Rickover, King, Nimitz, and Rozhestvensky also offering the detail focus and independence the post requires.

An inspector general must visit forces, test whether they actually work, and refuse to treat the appointment as an honorary retirement post. Jellicoe is a leading choice because his attention to detail and institutional seriousness would expose neglected work. Henderson, Rickover, King, Nimitz, and Rozhestvensky are also raised for technical knowledge, persistence, or indifference to political comfort. The negative comparison is an officer who overlooks detail, because this role depends less on battlefield dash than on disciplined inspection and follow-through.
