American submariner and writer (b. April 20, 1918, New York, N.Y.—d. Dec. 1, 2002, Washington, D.C.), was awarded a number of decorations for service during World War II that resulted in the sinking or damaging of 45 enemy vessels and in 1960 was commander of the nuclear-powered
Triton, at the time the world's largest and most powerful submarine, when it made the first underwater circumnavigation of the globe. To the general public, though, he was better known as the author of the war novel
Run Silent, Run Deep (1955), which won the National Book Award in 1956 and was filmed in 1958. Among his other books were
Submarine! (1952) and
Around the World Submerged (1962).
