An overlooked War of 1812 admiral in the southern theatre

An unnamed admiral combined Caribbean command with raising troops and planning a gradual British reconquest of the American coast.

Question

Who was the most underrated admiral of the War of 1812?

Short answer

An admiral active around South Carolina and the Caribbean who raised troops and planned a gradual reconquest, although his name could not be recalled live.

Notes

The answer points to an officer covered in an earlier video. The admiral is recalled as operating around South Carolina and the Caribbean, organising regiments and troops, and planning a slow reconquest of America. The example shows naval command extending into force raising and coastal campaign planning. His name could not be retrieved during the livestream, so the description provides an operational profile without a secure identification.
