When my brother was a missile tech on a Navy boomer in the early 1970's, some old guy came on board his sub during some type of family tour day.

There was a big stink because my brother used physical restraint to keep the guy from going past some checkpoint without the proper credentials.

My brother got some type of recognition from the old guy because of the incident.

The old guy's name was Rickover, and he was trying to see how far he could get through the sub, simply using facial recognition. My brother was the one that finally stopped him.

That is a terrific story! (I hesitate to say "story" because that implies it's fiction. Anyway. . .)

Did your brother recognize the man to be Rickover?

That's odd. I had heard from others in the nuclear Navy that Rickover was a bastard and difficult to work with. Of course, with a name like "Hyman", I probably wouldn't be a very nice person, either.
