In memory of Charles "Swede" Momsen. A Navy Hero who invented a way of saving submarine crews on the submarine USS Squalus with a diving bell device he called the Momsen Lung.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Momsen
I read about him many years ago and never forgot his creativity in saving sub crews from certain death. Read the story and you will see why he is a Navy Hero. He saved 33 crew members of the Squalus with 4 dives but lost about 20 more who were unable to survive due to running out of oxygen. God bless you Swede!
Thanks, Pat P.
