Ralph Riggs commanded South Dakota during much of the Solomons campaign. He was then shifted north to the Aleutians and commanded the American screen during the Battle of the Komandorski Islands, where his bold destroyer attack helped convince the superior Japanese force to break off the action. Promoted to rear admiral, he commanded fire support groups in the Southwest Pacific in the final months of the war.
