There has only been one enlisted Submariner Medal of Honor recipient.

Today, we take a moment to honor U.S. Navy Torpedoman’s Mate 2nd Class Henry Breault who earned the Medal of Honor for his actions while serving aboard the U.S. Submarine 0-5. (SS-66). Breault was born on this day in 1900 in Putnam, Connecticut, and would join the U.S. Navy in 1920.

On the morning of 28 October 1923, the O-5 collided with the steamship Abangarez and sank in less than a minute. When the collision occurred, BREAULT was in the torpedo room. Upon reaching the hatch, he saw that the boat was rapidly sinking. Instead of jumping overboard to save his own life, he returned to the torpedo room to the rescue of a shipmate whom he knew was trapped in the boat, closing the torpedo-room hatch on himself. Breault and the other crewman remained trapped in this compartment until rescued by the salvage party 31 hours later.
