“I intend to go in harm’s way…. I have a fighting ship and I will never retreat from an enemy force…”
Quote, CDR E.E. Evans, USN, October 27, 1943
at USS JOHNSTON’s commissioning
He was killed in action at the young age of 36. He had 18 years of service in the U.S. Navy, with 13 years at sea. Based on his bio and war record, this guy had balls of steel.
