Were Pacific admirals mavericks?

A brief answer applies the episode's narrow definition of maverick leadership to Pacific admirals.

Question

Would any admirals in the Pacific be considered mavericks?

Short answer

No Pacific admiral is identified as fitting the episode's specific definition of a maverick.

Notes

The prompt asks whether any Pacific admirals qualify as mavericks, and none is placed in that category. A maverick is defined here as someone who sees a problem differently, accepts calculated risk, and rewrites the approach while retaining professional discipline. A successful or unconventional reputation alone is not enough for the label.
