LAWSON "Red" RAMAGE
was one of the outstanding American submarine commanders of World War II, and he
was awarded this country's highest honor - the Medal of Honor. While
commanding USS PARCHE, he dashed inside a Japanese convoy and picked off
ships at will. When asked where he learned these tactics, he said that he
had read about a guy named Kretschmer.
RADM RAMAGE was helpful and supportive to Sharkhunters until his passing.
Only four Submarine Service Medal of Honor recipients survived the War and all
four were Members of Sharkhunters.
