Yes, I am proud to be his grandson.  He also was lucky the 509 boat which he was XO on from her commissioning till he was transferred 2 week before she was lost with only one survivor  who was captured.

Just thought I would do a little on this topic since I have learned some fun stuff.

When Grandpa got his own boat out in the pacific the PT 297 with RON 16.  He was teaching one of his enlisted men how to dock the boat, and about 3 feet from the dock the guy shifted ahead and not into revese. The boat lunged forward right into the dock which in trun was lanuched the wood from the dock into a near by quonset hut right in to the office of the RON 16 CO :D.
