| Info | John L. Sullivan (June 16, 1899–August 8, 1982), Served in the United States Navy and was the first Department of Defense Secretary of the Navy in the Truman Administration. He was appointed to that position upon Secretary Forrestal's installation as the first Secretary of Defense. He resigned in protest after the second Secretary of Defense, Louis A. Johnson, canceled the heavy aircraft carrier United States in an effort to strip airpower from the Navy. This event was part of an interservice conflict known as the Revolt of the Admirals.
He was an alumnus of Dartmouth College.
