wait a minute, only two men aboard that day received the Medal of Honor?  I would have expected more, and at least one posthumous.  The carrier lost a third of her crew in dead and wounded. 

"O'CALLAHAN, JOSEPH TIMOTHY"  

Now why is it that the instant I saw that name I thought "sounds like a priest's name?"  Even before I read the citation?
