Gerald Ford was damage control officer on the light carrier CVL-26 Monterey. His actions during a typhoon and subsequent fire quite possibly save that ship & crew. I’m no fan of Gerald Ford — the politician — either, but give the guy some credit for manning up when the situation called for it.

Ok. He deserves an entire class of carriers named after him because he manned a fire extinguisher in a typhoon.
