In 1967 I went through the U.S. Navy's Officer Candidate School in Newport, R.I., with Jesse Roper Mohorovic. He explained the lifeboat history patiently to all who asked him about his odd combination of names, and I am saddened to learn of his death in 2006.
Readers might be interested to know that the USS Roper eventually sank the U-85 that had made the attack on the City of New York. U-85 has become a diving site, though it is deep enough to keep amateur scuba divers away. The U-boat's four-rotor Enigma coding machine and its rotors were brought up from the site only within the last five years.
