The first African American to acheive the Navy rank of Master Diver and Master Chief. He was born on a farm in Kentucky, father a share cropper and they were dirt poor. He was born in 1931 and fought the system to become the first of his kind to get the highest level rank of an enlisted man. The Navy Diver's were the salvage diver's that did many challenging missions handling demonlitions to clearing the underwater fighting areas for the fleet to anchor. A Navy Diver is not a fightling man, he clears salvage and clears the underwater. God rest Carl's soul as he lived to be 75 and is a departed Navy Diver WHY would anyone want to be a NAVY DIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am the child of a Navy Diver.............................................................................
