In 2009, the USNS T-AKE 7 was named the USNS Carl Brashear, in honor of Master Chief Boatswain's Mate (Master Diver) Carl M. Brashear (1931-2006), who joined the U.S. Navy in 1948. He was one of the first African-Americans to graduate from the Navy Diving School, and was designated a Navy salvage diver. He was the first African-American to qualify and serve as a master diver while on active duty, and the first U.S. Navy diver to be restored to full active duty as an amputee, the result of a leg injury he sustained during a salvage operation. After thirty-one years of service, Brashear officially retired from the U.S. Navy on April 1, 1979.

An amazing movie that everyone should watch.

_Men of Honor_ is a movie that has a strong storyline and powerful performances. The lead actors, especially Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert De Niro, delivered stellar performances that brought their characters to life in a way that was truly remarkable. Based on a true story, the film does an excellent job of portraying the real-life challenges and struggles of the main character. It's not only entertaining but also inspiring, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good drama with exceptional acting.

Somethings never change! These things still happen in various forms..

Ein toller Film, der auch noch auf einer wahren Begebenheit beruht. Tolle Story und gutes Schauspiel!
