Enrico Toti was a "Balilla"-class Italian submarine laid down on 26 January 1925 at the Odero-Terni-Orlando Naval Yard, located in Muggiano, La Spezia.  She was one of four in her class, launched on 14 April 1928 and commissioned on 19 September.  Her name pays homage to Major Enrico Toti, a First World War combatant posthumously awarded the Italian Gold Medal.  The submarine is notable as being the only Italian submarine to have sunk a Royal Navy submarine during the Second World War. HMAS "Protector" (ASR 241) was a Royal Australian Navy (RAN) trials and submarine rescue ship.  Built in 1984, the ship was initially operated by the National Safety Council of Australia as MV "Blue Nabilla.  She was purchased by the RAN in 1990 for use as a surveillance, training, and diving support vessel.  During her military career, "Protector" supported the trials of the "Collins"-class submarine s, and was involved in a search for the shipwreck of the World War II cruiser HMAS "Sydney" .  The ship was decommissioned in 1998 and, while still owned by the Commonwealth, she is provided to Defence Maritime Services to allow them to support Navy activities under contract.  Renamed Seahorse Horizon", the ship is operated by Defence Maritime Services out of HMAS "Creswell" as a training and Fleet support vessel. The "Tambor"-class submarine was a United States Navy submarine design, used primarily during World War II.  It was the USN's first fully successful fleet submarine, and began the war close to the fighting.  Six of the class were in Hawaiian waters or the Central Pacific on 7 December 1941, with "Tautog" at Pearl Harbor during the attack.  They went on to see hard service; seven of the twelve boats in the class were sunk before the survivors were withdrawn from front-line service in early 1945; this was the highest percentage lost of any US submarine class.  "Tautog" was credited with sinking 26 ships, the largest number of ships sunk by a US submarine in World War II.  The "Tambor"s retained the top speed of 21 kn and range of 11000 nmi (allowing patrols in Japanese home waters) of the preceding "Sargo" class , and improvements included six bow torpedo tubes, a more reliable full diesel-electric propulsion plant, and improved combat efficiency with key personnel and equipment relocated to the conning tower.  In some references, the "Tambor"s are called the "T Class", and SS-206 through SS-211 are sometimes called the ""Gar" class". Frederick T. Moore, Jr. was a United States Navy captain.  During World War II he was executive officer of Fighter Squadron 1 operating off the carrier  and commanding officer of the Air Group 35 aboard the aircraft carrier  in the Pacific.  During the Korean War, he was the commanding officer of naval air training at NAS Pensacola and the air officer on the  .  His first sea command was aboard the  .

McVay III (July 30, 1898 – November 6, 1968) was an American naval officer and the commanding officer of  when it was lost in action in 1945, resulting in a massive loss of life.  Of all captains in the history of the United States Navy, he is the only one to have been subjected to court-martial for losing a ship sunk by an act of war, despite the fact that he was on a top secret mission maintaining radio silence (the testimony of the Japanese commander who sank his ship also seemed to exonerate McVay).  After years of mental health problems, he committed suicide.  Following years of efforts by some survivors and others to clear his name, McVay was posthumously exonerated by the 106th United States Congress and President Bill Clinton on October 30, 2000.
