Which First World War leaders shaped the next navies?

The closing question asks how First World War leaders shaped the officers and institutions that fought the Second World War. Jellicoe supplies the Royal Navy example, where gunnery, ship command, staff work, and ground operations combined into an analytical style. The United States Navy offers a relatively clear comparison through William Sims, while the French and German cases demand more investigation. The prompt shifts attention from individual battle records to the transmission of doctrine, professional habits, and command culture across generations. Because the comparison remains open, the historical problem is to trace personnel, doctrine, and institutional memory across the interwar divide.
