I read a book about the Battle of Midway a long time ago. One sailor from the Yorktown was rescued by the same destroyer twice. Once after he abandoned ship from an air attack, and again when he abandoned ship after it was torpedoed. He was a cook. When the destroyer picked him up the second time he reportedly said, as he came on board, "Don't tell me. I know where the galley is."
