A lot of influential naval officers have pressed for a powerful US Navy and more ship construction, I have personally known half a dozen. Hyman Rickover is one the more famous in recent history, but I suspect Alfred T Mahan is the gent you are thinking of. But there have been a large number of them.
Please ignore the site about Dewey.
