I know that the Mess Hall at the US Navy Submarine School Cross Hall is named after former steward and later Steward Fist Class Joseph Cross he served as a steward on several patrols during WWII on the USS USS Halibut he earned a Bronze Star during WWII.He did not earn that by merely handing out sandwiches.And the fact that he was awarded a Bronze Star means that his commanding officer had much respect for him.

He was killed when the USS Scorpion SSN-589 was lost with all hands in 1968.
