Was there an American equivalent to Admiral Henderson?

Was there an American version of Admiral Reginald Henderson?

Only partial equivalents, because the US Navy's bureau system divided responsibilities that Henderson held more centrally as Third Sea Lord.

Several American officers performed parts of Henderson's role, but no single direct equivalent fits neatly. The US Navy's bureau system distributed design and administrative responsibility among several offices. Henderson, by contrast, could exercise unusually concentrated and sometimes autocratic authority as Third Sea Lord. The comparison is therefore institutional rather than a search for one American officer with the same rank or title.
