EVERY SPRING, AS THE COMMEMORATON OF D-DAY APPROACHED, my father, retired Navy Lt. Bernard Eisner, recalled the young men who went down with their ships during World War Two and might not have been counted and recognized among the heroes of war. As for himself, my dad had been far off on D-day, executive officer of LST-463—a tank and troop carrier—in the South Pacific.

Luftwaffe spotters alerted the small Nazi S-1 torpedo boat fleet at Cherbourg, France, some of which slipped by British surveillance and scored a bloody victory. The fast-moving boats sank two of eight LST’s and damaged a third, killing at least 749 fighting men.
