Frank Knox was a Republican politician and journalist who served as vice president under Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936 and as secretary of the navy from 1940 to 1944. He fought in the Spanish American War and World War I, and was a publisher of several newspapers.
Knox’s most important contribution to the war effort was his leadership in building a 1,000-ship fleet, without which the much-heralded landings and battles might never have been possible.
