$275.00

This set of WWII and Korean War era medals were awarded to 40 year Naval submarine veteran Captain Carlton A K McDonald who was appointed to the Naval Academy in 1944. After commissioning he served aboard the USS Leary, and the subs Spikefish, Sea Robin, and Barbero. He successfully interviewed with Admiral Rickover and later assumed command of the USS Grant, gold crew. At the Pentagon he became the special assistant to the Asst. Secretary of the Navy. He became the the commanding officer of the Naval Submarine Training Center Pacific in Hawaii. He was awarded the legion of Merit as well as the Meritorious Service Award (see below). After retirement he spent years researching the causes for the sinking of the USS Scorpion and published his findings.
We are offering this set of 6 medals awarded to Captain McDonald including: the WWII Victory medal; the WWII US Navy Occupation Service Medal (Europe); the US National Defense Medal (with a bronze star indicating the first period June 27,1950 - July 27, 1954 Korean War); the Meritorious Service Medal (this medal comes with the corresponding ribbon, lapel pin and original box); the Naval Expeditionary Medal (probably for service in Korea and / or Vietnam) and the WWII America Campaign Medal. All these medals are original and guaranteed to be those awarded to this veteran.
Additionally were are offering a variety of commemorative medallions the come to us from this estate all related to Captain McDonalds Naval service and the submarine specialization. I particularly like the United States Submarine Warfare medallion that shows a sub on the reverse with the saying: \"Some ships are designed to sink...others require our assistance\". See our photos for further information. All the above items are in great vintage condition.
