Captain Charles W. Rush, Jr. USN (Ret.) graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1941 and first saw combat aboard a destroyer in the South Pacific. When his ship returned to Pearl Harbor, he volunteered for submarine duty. He survived seven war patrols in the submarines Thresher and Bluefish.
Post-war statisticians revealed that the Navy lost one submarine for every in five war patrols.
Captain Rush is retired in South Florida.
