The Hand That Saved a Submarine Hero Story
Ed Lowgreen of New York City is honored as a Distinguished Adventurer for his near-drowning rescue on a submerged submarine mission. The ship’s crew faced disaster when water flooded the hull as Ed and a petty officer struggled to lower radio gear. A split-second act by the partner saved both men and the crew, while Ed survived two dives and a boot snag before a rowboat finally pulled him to safety. The incident ends with a burial at sea and a commander’s tribute to a hero who saved the submarine and its crew.
