 Welcome to All Hands Update, this is your week in Navy history. On February 5th, 1971, Apollo 14 astronauts Captain Allen B. Shepard Jr. and Commander Edgar D. Mitchell became the fifth and sixth astronauts to walk on the moon. On February 7th, 1943, USS Growler fought a desperate night battle with the Japanese supply ship, Hayasaki. During the battle, Growler's commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Howard W. Gilmore rammed the enemy ship, severely bending Growler's bow. Wounded by a machine gunfire and unable to go below, Gilmore gave the order, take her down, sacrificing himself so the submarine can dive to safety. For his distinguished gallantry and valor throughout the patrol, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
