On Aug 2,1943 PT109 was severed in half by a Japanese destroyer but managedto stay afloat over 12 hours. The surviving crew made there way toan uninhabited Solomon Island avoiding sharks and Japanesepatrols. They were eventually recovered by Solomon Island scouts. JFK's actions to save his surviving crew after the sinking ofPT-109made him a war hero. Later JFK became president of the UnitedStates.
