During the flight it was Fred . W. Haise.
Apollo 13 almost got lost in space when an oxygen tank exploded, causing critical failure of the spacecraft's systems. The crew had to improvise solutions to safely return to Earth in a dramatic rescue mission.
Astronaut Jack Swigert got sick on Apollo 13 with a urinary tract infection shortly before launch, but he recovered in time to fly the mission.
Well, The crew that was supposed to go on Apollo 13 was Alan Sheppard's crew, but he got an ongoing ear infection so he and his crew got bumped. Afterwards, Jim Lovell and his crew (Fred Haise, and Ken Mattingly) were assigned for the Apollo 13 mission, but because the doctors thought Ken Mattingly was going to have the measles, he got bumped from the mission and was replaced with Jack Swigert. Hope this helps! :)

Because it followed Apollo 12
N.A.S.A was involved with Apollo 13.
Apollo 13 landed in the Pacific Ocean
The original three crew members of Apollo 13 were James Lovell, Fred .w.Haise and Thomas K. Mattingly. But Mattingly was grounded as he got measles . Jack Swigert replaced him.
Alan Shepard and his crew was supposed to fly Apollo 13, but he got an ear infection close to the launch, so the crew of Apollo 14 were moved up a place allowing Alan Shepard to fly Apollo 14. The reason the whole crew switched was because they trained with each other and were put together to compliment each others skills.
Apollo 13 was launched in 11/4/1070.
The commander of Apollo 13 was James Lovell.
