It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
~ Gen. George S. Patton ~
Dick O'Kane and Mush Morton
From Aft looking forward on WAHOO as she rests on Eternal Patrol.

Thanks for this post, I read long ago Clair Brown’s book Silent Victory and the account in there about both the Wahoo and the Tang are great. What a great story Morton makes and his impact to those around him that also went on to glory is incredible.
Thanks again.
BT: Jimmy T sends.
I’d also recommend “Unrestricted Warfare”. It’s a great book about both Mush Morton and Dick O’Kane.
