Answer: Alfred T. Mahan
Explanation:
Alfred Thayer Mahan was an American Naval Officer and Historian who was widely known to be a brilliant strategist. He wrote two books about the influence of the Navy on the strength and development of a nation, both of which were well read and made him famous.
He believed that for a nation to succeed it needed a strong navy that could be used commercially in peace time or win a war in wartime. He even came up with plans for conflict with the foremost Naval power of the time, Britain.
A Senator and indeed a lot of Americans that would have read the writings of Mr. Mahan would have been convinced that the US needed to build more battleships than every other nation.
The flexible response was created and implemented during former President John F. Kennedy's administration at the year 1961 as a measure to counteract the New Look policy of former President Dwight Eisenhower in his policy of conducting a massive military action in case of war.
