History of Calvin graham us navy?
Sailor Calvin L. Graham (April 3, 1930-November 6, 1992)was the youngest Navy Veteran of WWII, enlisting at the age of 12. It wasn't until he was injured at the Battle of Guadalcanal during an attack on his ship, the USS South Dakota, that his mother then revealed his true age.
Although initially awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart, after recovering, he spent 3 months in the brig for lying about his age (fraudulent enlistment) and was subsequently dishonorably discharged and stripped of his medals. At 17, he joined the Marines, but his service was cut short after 3 years when he broke his back in a fall to a pier.
Though technically a Veteran from his Marine service, his former dishonorable discharge prevented him from collecting any VA benefits. He worked until 1978 to restore his benefits and clear his record, and eventually all his medals (except Purple Heart) and benefits were restored, as well as an upgrade to an honorable discharge. In 1988, he was awarded his disability benefits and back pay, and his Purple Heart was also finally reinstated 2 years after he passed away in 1992.

How do you find the list of names of a ships company in the US Navy?
For commissioned warships in service and pre-com ships, the list is restricted to crewmembers, their immediate dependents, and official Navy personnel who are in the ship's chain of command. Most lists are typically classified "For Official Use Only", and not for release to the general public.
For decommissioned or scrapped ships of the past, the best bet is associations for a given ship; most have at least a minor presence on the 'net. Some service records also contain a list of names for that particular time a person was on board.
