R.I.P. sailor.

Something's wrong with that story, though, as JFK didn't become president until 1961.

Probably Senator Kennedy? At the time?

Official SEAL website says the first SEAL was commissioned in '62, so Kennedy might have had a hand in it.

Would have been one of the few things he got right.

The article does specifically say he was commissioned to start the SEAL team by Kennedy in 1960, so the writer made a mistake somewhere.
