This being negative, and the only response, I won’t take the DQ.

I can name five: JFK, Lenny Thom (his XO), Kirksey and Marney (the two who were killed in the collision), and McMahon (the one who was burned so badly that Kennedy had to tow him to the beach).

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Thanks. I knew in general terms what had happened to the crew, but couldn’t have named anyone other than their skipper - who was later, I think, to achieve some small measure of political fame.

Were you Princess Ardala’s henchman? - Killer Kane (in Buck Rogers)
