U.S. Navy Hero Daniel Gallery; Focus On Goals: He captured a German U-boat by anticipating its every move.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)
Byline: DOUG TSURUOKA
Some military leaders wait for opportunities to surface in war.
Capt. Dan Gallery went straight for his target.
He made capturing a German submarine with its secret encoding equipment one of his overriding missions in World War II, and he made history in the process. Gallery led the U.S. Navy task force that captured the German sub U-505 off the West African coast on June 4, 1944.
It was the only U-boat ever boarded and captured by U.S. forces in both world wars. It also was the first foreign warship captured at sea by the U.S. Navy since 1815. The feat has never been equaled.
"Gallery was a very determined man," said Jim Sanders, the officer in charge of the flight deck of Gallery's baby flattop, the USS Guadalcanal, on the day the sub was captured.
"He told us as we went to sea that we were going to capture a U-boat if we could. Most of us thought it was folly. But he planned for it and showed it could be done."
