I found this interesting and hope you all don’t mind the posting of it, it’s a cool story.

http://brick.shorebeat.com/2018/10/brick-mans-classified-missions-helped-save-thousands-of-lives-in-wwii/

A series of ultra-secret missions carried out in the Mediterranean Sea and Europe’s Atlantic coast began with a 14-year-old building a wooden boat to go fishing in New Jersey.

Brick resident Charles Vorndran, now 94, would later take the lessons he learned from boating in the Garden State and use them to conduct some of the world’s first instances of modern psychological and electronic warfare in World War II. His then-classified missions are credited with saving thousands of Allied lives and serving as one of the building blocks to modern Navy SEAL teams.
