	83k	Osmond K. Ingram, GM1c, USN. Awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism during the torpedoing of the USS Cassin (DD-43) October 15 1917. He lost his life during this action and was the first enlisted man to have a Destroyer named in his honor. Naval Historical Center photo NH91637. Medal of Honor citation of Gunner's Mate First Class Osmond K. Ingram: "For extraordinary heroism in the presence of the enemy on the occasion of the torpedoing of the Cassin (DD-43) on 15 October 1917. While the Cassin was searching for the submarine, Ingram sighted the incoming torpedo coming, and realizing that it might strike the ship aft in the vicinity of the depth charges, ran aft with the intention of releasing the depth charges before the torpedo could reach the Cassin. The torpedo struck the ship before he could accomplish his purpose and Ingram was killed by the explosion. The depth charges exploded immediately afterward. His life was sacrificed in an attempt to save the ship and his shipmates, as the damage to the ship would have been much less if he had been able to release the depth charges."
