Doesn't sound like anyone having to do anything with submarines. Sounds like you meant Dudley "Mush" Morton (1907-1943). USN LCDR Morton commanded a GATO class submarine, the USS Wahoo, and sank 19 Japanese vessels during WWII. But in October '43, when taking his sub up thru Perouse Strait (which separates Russia from Japan) a Japanese shore battery opened up on him as he sailed thru it. The shore battery commander notified the Japanese Air Force, which promptly sent in some bombers...this was followed by Japanese Navy destroyers, which came in and promptly depth charged Morton's sub; so bad in fact, that the Wahoo's propellers were reportedly rising out of the ocean! Then it was over. Wahoo was lost, with about 70 or more men, including Lieutenant Commander Morton. The USS Wahoo was reportedly recently discovered by some Russian diving teams in the La Perouse Strait, she is resting at about 200 feet. Entombed within her are Morton and his men; the sub is a war grave, and by law, cannot be disturbed.
