Summary
[edit]DescriptionCrommelin brothers.jpg |
English: USS Crommelin (FFG 37), twenty-eighth ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry-class of guided-missile frigates, is named for three brothers: Vice Admiral Henry Crommelin (1904-1971), Commander Charles Crommelin (1909-1945), and Lieutenant Commander Richard Crommelin (1917-1945). The other brothers are Rear Admiral John G. Crommelin III (1902-1996) and Captain Quentin C. Crommelin (1919-1997). Born of a pioneer Alabama family in Montgomery and Wetumpka, the Crommelin brothers were the only five siblings ever to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy. Four of them became pilots, and Time magazine dubbed them "The Indestructibles." The brothers saw action in more than ten campaigns in the Pacific Theater. Henry, the oldest, became a Surface Warfare Officer while Richard and Charles died in combat as naval aviators in 1945. Individually and as a fighting family, they gained fame in World War II, attaining outstanding combat records and multiple decorations. Several books have been written about them and a monument commemorating their bravery rests in Battleship Park in Mobile, Alabama. |
