Namesakes
Two ships have been named in his honor: USS Ringgold (DD-89) and USS Ringgold (DD-500).
Ringgold Street in San Francisco, California is named after him.
Another namesake was the writer Ring Lardner. Rear Admiral James Lawrence Lardner was a friend of Ringgold's. He named a son "Ringgold Wilmer Lardner", and James' brother gave exactly the same name to his son after the newborn's cousin. Ring Lardner disliked his name and shortened it but "lost the battle" when his son, Ring Lardner Jr. was named after him.
