#6 The REAL hero of the rescue must surely be the skipper of the Bainbridge (DDG-96) Cmdr. Frank Castellano, the man who gave the order to FIRE! Lots of kudos at the time for the crew of the Bainbridge. Not so much for the skipper.

#7 I got the impression that the skipper's career was taking on water due to someone's displeasure at his initiative.
