- Description
- Orders from the commander in chief of the United States Asiatic Fleet to Lieutenant (j.g.) Kenneth C. Hurd for a change of duty from the submarine USS S-41 to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Kenneth Charles Hurd (1902-1977) was a 1925 graduate of the United States Naval Academy. After graduation and sea duty, Hurd attended the Submarine School in New London, CT (1928). After joining the USS S-41 with the Asiatic Fleet in Manila, he returned to the U.S. to pursue post-graduate coursework in marine engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. While there Hurd was severely injured when a fly wheel on an experimental diesel engine shattered (1933), striking him in the face with debris. After a prolonged hospital stay and recuperation, Hurd was attached to the staff of the Commander of Submarines in Washington, D.C. Subsequent submarine-related activities included service in the Panama Canal Zone (1935); command of the USS SEAL (SS-183) in the Philippines (Dec. 7, 1941); receipt of the Navy Cross (Feb. 1942) and three commendations; and divisional and squadron commands.
