DDH - Torpedoman 2nd Class Henry Breault
In today’s riveting episode of Dave Does History
on Bill Mick Live, Dave Bowman takes us back to October 28/29, 1923, to recount the harrowing tale of the USS O-5 submarine disaster. In the murky waters of the Panama Canal, the O-5 collided with a freighter and quickly sank, trapping crew members beneath the waves. Torpedoman Second Class Henry Breault’s courageous decision to dive back into the sinking vessel to rescue a trapped comrade would become the stuff of legend—and earn him the Medal of Honor.
Dave explores the bravery, sacrifice, and incredible story of survival in a world of "Stygian darkness," sharing both the history of early submarines and Breault’s legacy as the only enlisted submariner to receive the Medal of Honor.
Tune in as we dive deep (no pun intended!) into this tale of
heroism, exploring questions of courage, training, and what it takes to act
selflessly in a life-or-death moment.
