"Duke" Ramsey was a naval aviation pioneer, being the 45th naval officer to complete flight training. He was one of seven aviators recommended by John Towers, the Navy's senior aviator, for early promotion to flag rank. He  commanded the Saratoga following her repair in June 1942, when he just missed participating in the Battle of Midway, and during the Guadalcanal campaign. He subsequently served as the chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics and, postwar, as the Vice Chief of Naval Operations.

Ramsey was considered both an excellent pilot and a first-rate administrator. Lundstrom (2006) characterizes him as "Sharp-witted, level headed, and personable". As commander of Saratoga, he ran a taut ship and got along well with Fletcher.
