Anderson, Walter Stratton (1895-1975)

Walter Anderson served with the Asiatic Squadron prior to the First World War and there joined the cruise of the Great White Fleet. He became an expert on gunnery and also organized the first Naval ROTC unit, at St. Johns College, Annapolis. While serving as naval attache in England, he was part of the American delegation to the London Naval Conference. As war loomed, he supervised the expansion of the Office of Naval Intelligence and reported regularly to Franklin Roosevelt.

Anderson commanded Battleships, Battle Force, when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He later commanded the board that was responsible for acceptance trials of all new Navy ships and aircraft, then took command of the Gulf Sea Frontier.

Anderson lived to the ripe old age of 100, at which time he was the oldest living Naval Academy graduate.
