USS Guardfish was one of the most successful subs of WWII, awarded two Presidential Unit Citations. I couldn't find the report of the board of inquiry, but the skipper was not relieved and completed Guardfish's WWII career, 12 war patrols in total.

Oh, yeah, Curtis LeMay is gonna put a world of hurt on Japan.

Hamburgers in a can? I guess if I was in a frozen foxhole, Id eat 'em.

He graduated from Ohion State (BSCE) and was in my fraternity Theta Tau. The chapter used to have his photo on the wall of the house.

He led an unbelieveable number of bombing missions. Brave man.

He was the source for the George C Scott character in Dr Stangelove.
