Admiral Cassedy's Last Shot

In October 1965, sailors aboard USS Barracuda honored an unusual final request: they launched Rear Admiral Hiram Cassedy’s ashes into the Atlantic through a torpedo tube.
In this episode of Patrol Reports, we follow Cassedy’s Navy career, from his Navy Cross rescue off Japanese-occupied Timor to his command of USS Tigrone. At the center is a tense exchange with USS Snook in April 1945. After narrowly escaping a torpedo, Cassedy initially suspected friendly fire. Radio messages cleared Snook in his judgment, then her transmissions stopped.
Explore the connection between a decorated submarine commander and one of World War II’s unresolved submarine losses, as we remember the men he brought home and the shipmates who remain on Eternal Patrol.
