Charles Momsen
Charles Bowers Momsen (June 21, 1896 – May 25, 1967), nicknamed "Swede", was born in Flushing, New York.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Swede Momsen )〕 He was an American pioneer in submarine rescue for the United States Navy, and he invented the underwater escape device later called the "Momsen lung", for which he received the Navy Distinguished Service Medal in 1929.〔 In May 1939, Momsen directed the rescue of the crew of ''Squalus'' (SS-192).〔
==Early years in the Navy==
Momsen entered the U.S. Naval Academy in 1914, but he was dismissed after a widespread cheating scandal during the spring of his first year there. However, Momsen pursued another appointment to the Academy, received it, repeated his plebe year, and graduated in 1919 — one year early, due to the involvement of the United States in World War I.〔
From 1919 to 1921, Momsen served in the battleship ''Oklahoma'' (BB-37). In 1921, he entered the Submarine School in New London, Connecticut, graduating in January 1922. 18 months later, he took command of the submarine ''O-15'' (SS-76). A few years later, he was given command of ''S-1'' (SS-105), one of the newest US Navy designed submarines of that time.〔
