Personal information
Extract of the action report about the sinking written by the commander of USS Leary:
Francis R. Hauer, after much difficulty, started the auxiliary motor generator and it was entirely through his efforts that USS Schenck received the transmission that USS Leary had been torpedoed and was abandoning ship.
