After the Henley was torpedoed, my Dad was fished from the water and woke up on a hospital on its was to Pearl Harbor. He spent several month in rehab at Pearl and finished his duty on a sea going tug on the east coast. When the Henley went down he was a Chief and was a Motor Machinist. He was in the engine room when they were torpedoed.
The ships logs are on line and describe the torpedo attack. A group had put together a Power Point presentation on the history of DD391 and the attack at Pearl harbor which included interviews of some of the shipmates that were still around. It was amazing reading. The veterans are true heroes.
My Dad passed away in 1969 from lung cancer. 48 years old is way too short of a life.
