68k | Thomas Burton Klakring, the only child of Colonel and Mrs. Leslie Klakring, was born in Annapolis, Maryland on 19 December 1904. He entered the Naval Academy from the State of
Connecticut, and graduated with the Class of 1927. A submarine hero of the Pacific War in World War II, Admiral Klakring was credited with sinking eight Japanese ships within sight of Japanese
ports, after taking his submarine, USS Guardfish, into Japanese water previously un-patrolled by American submarines. During one of her war patrols, without the benefit of
sophisticated SONAR, Guardfish sighted, or torpedoed, 77 enemy vessels in about 35 days. Then Lcdr. Klakring commanded Guardfish from 1941 to 1943. While under Lcdr.
Klakring's command, Guardfish chalked up an impressive record. She left on her first war patrol on 06 August 1942 for the eastern shore of Honshu, and sent eight enemy ships,
totaling 51,055 tons, to the bottom, and damaged a 7,000 ton freighter. In October, during her second war patrol, Guardfish sank another freighter and a tanker, and damaged another
freighter in the East China Sea. On Guardfish's third war patrol, in the Rabaul-Kavieng area, additional Japanese shipping was sunk, including two naval vessels. For his heroism
while commanding Guardfish, Klakring was awarded the Navy Cross with two Gold Stars (in lieu of second and third awards). In addition, Guardfish was awarded the
Presidential Unit Citation while under Klakring's command. Admiral Klakring's other decorations include the Silver Star, Bronze Star (both for heroism during World War II), China Service Medal,
American Defense Service Medal, American Area Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Area Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal. In 1949, after retiring from the Navy, Admiral Klakring became an assistant to the general manager of Electric Boat in Groton, Conn., and from 1959 to 1964 he was manager of international activities and vice president of the Electric Boat division. In the mid-1960's, the admiral moved to Annapolis, where he established a consulting and representation service in the marine industrial and engineering fields. On Thursday, 24 July 1975, Radm. Klakring passed away at the Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego, California. He was laid to rest at the U. S. Naval Academy Cemetery in Annapolis, Md. USS Klakring (FFG 42) was the first ship to be named in his honor. (Photo from the book: These Men Shall Never Die by Lowell Thomas [Philadelphia: John C. Winston Co., 1943], p. 90) |

Contact information is compiled from various sources over a period of time and may, or may not, be correct. Every effort has been
made to list the newest contact. However, our entry
is only as good as the latest information that's been sent to us. We list only
a contact for the ship if one has been sent to us. We do NOT have crew lists, rosters, or deck logs
available. Please see the
Frequently Asked Questions section on NavSource's Main Page for that information.
