Hunter Marshall III
Hunter Marshall III (1917–1942) was a United States Navy officer killed in action during World War II who received the Silver Star posthumously for his actions.
==Biography==
Hunter Marshall III was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, on October 6, 1917. He enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve on July 12, 1941. Called to active duty in September 1941, Marshall was appointed midshipman and attended Midshipman's School at New York City. He later attended Naval Armed Guard School and in April 1942 reported to United States Army Transport USAT ''Merrimack'' and took command of her Naval Armed Guard detachment.
Carrying military supplies to the Panama Canal Zone, ''Merrimack'' was torpedoed by the German submarine ''U-68'' in the Caribbean Sea south of the Yucatan Channel on June 9, 1942. Despite the danger of further attacks, Ensign Marshall led his Armed Guard gun crews in furious resistance to the submarine until the forward part of the sinking ''Merrimack'' was actually awash. Marshall was one of the last to leave the ship and was lost. He was listed as presumed dead on June 10, 1943.
