Sign language course for frogmen mirrors deaf vocabulary
A wartime training officer from College Park Maryland devised a compact six session program teaching a 26 sign alphabet and a 170 word underwater vocabulary. The signs use simple hand and arm movements to convey actions or objects and cover most underwater communication needs. Wisher served in World War II and later commanded at Bainbridge during the Korean War.
