Impressive!

"Commander Fluckey stayed in the Navy after the war, eventually reaching the rank of Rear Admiral. But by his own account, his greatest accomplishment was keeping everyone on his ship safe:
No one who ever served under my command was awarded the Purple Heart for being wounded or killed, and all of us brought our Barb back safe and sound."

(not to belittle the Barb's crew and "Flucky's" accomplishments)
When i first read the YT headline it reminded me of this: "We sunk a truck" from 'Operation Petticoat':
