And JFK was a terrible commander of the only PT boat to get run over by an enemy destroyer in WWII.
**************************
Too damn bad nobody on that destroyer heard the crunch as they ran over his boat. How does and ENTIRE CREW fall asleep with nobody on watch?

Neidermeyer @60: "How does and ENTIRE CREW fall asleep with nobody on watch?"

Who might have been asleep, or not on watch, or doing something else, would have been the responsibility of the commander of the PT boat.

A court-martial might have uncovered the facts.
