  • YP-422 was briefly commanded by L. Ron Hubbard, the controversial founder of Scientology, who was supervising the conversion in his capacity as a US Navy lieutenant. He was relieved of his command a few weeks after YP-422 underwent a 27-hour training exercise in August 1942. A despatch sent by the Commandant of the Boston Navy Yard described Hubbard as "not temperamentally fitted for independent command" and he was removed from command on October 1, 1942.
