Who: Howard W. Gilmore — Note: Gilmore was a submarine commander who chose to stay above water after his vessel inadvertently rammed a Japanese convoy ship and began to list. Grievously wounded, he commanded his crew to leave him behind and get below, and was assumedly swept out to sea as the submarine dove to take cover.
