Persistent myth

edit

The "Persistent myth" paragraph smacks of WP:OR. Kendall-K1 (talk) 01:53, 16 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Agree completely. It looks as if it was added by someone with an axe to grind, who joined up for that reason only. I've removed it as unsourced and unencyclopaedic. The Navy named two ships after the guy for a reason. I noted what was in the article before the "persistent myth" change and found a source that supports that account. I've re-added, but also re-worded for brevity and to avoid close paraphrasing. The source may not be the best RS, but as of now, it's the only source this bio has. - wolf 05:01, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Also agree. "In point of fact," it isn't a persistent myth. His efforts to save other crewmen is a matter of record, as is his receiving the Purple Heart as the only award for it. I added the reference for this. See the Naval History and Heritage Command on the sinking of six Japanese submarines.--KMJKWhite (talk) 17:36, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
