You're kidding right? "Red" Ramage earned his Medal Of Honor the real way, on the USS Parche's second war patrol in the Luzon Strait during June and July 1944. There were no pics taken, he was a bit busy at the time.

He retired a Vice Admiral in 1969. He was also the recipient of the 2 Navy Crosses, 2 DSM's, and a Bronze Star. His 45 minute surface action of 31 July 1944 has to rank as one of the most amazing submarine actions of the entire war. There is a well known oil painting of it:
