In 1941, John Kennedy joined the Navy. He became the commander of a small
"PT" boat assigned to the battle in the Pacific against the Japanese. One
night, while on patrol, Kennedy's boat was rammed by a large enemy ship. Two
men in the crew of thirteen were killed, and the rest, led by Lt. Kennedy,
swam to a nearby deserted island. They managed to survive, mostly by eating
coconuts, until they were rescued a week later.
