In an interesting note, when I worked at the history magazine firm, I read the memoirs of Joe Rochefort, the guy who broke the Japanese code leading up to Midway.

And Rochefort promptly got screwed over by other decoding groups and their officers that stole credit, took authority, and essentially got the Hawaii decoding office closed. Rochefort, if I recall correctly, ended up in California commanding a floating dry dock rather than any further decryption work.
