Hero #1

[Mav87th]

I thought it only fitting to list up some of the hero's who drove and serviced on these magnificent boats durring the war.

That this man is listed as #1 is not in any way indicating that i think he was the "most" heroic of them. But purly a way of listing by random. That way ill know what number im at for the next one.

A brewski for Mr. Gilmore - apparently a top notch skipper :rock:

It is the intention that all of you can post a link to a hero of US-submarine forces from WWII - so if you have a pick - post it with a link to the man. Here is my next selection..

Another sharpshooter

[Sailor Steve]

Cool idea. I can't wait to see who your next choice is.:sunny:

If I may, I'd like to nominate Samuel David Dealy.

[Mav87th]

Followed up by this "rampage-skipper" that somewhat "did" his convoys as i "do" mine in SH3 :D
