Lieutenant Commander Hiram Pottinger (c. 1910-1941) was assigned command of the damage control section of the USS Remembrance during the Pacific War when his predecessor was injured in the surprise Japanese submersible attack which started the war. This caused some resentment with his subordinate Lt. (j.g.) Sam Carsten who had commanded in the interim. In addition, while Pottinger was experienced in damage control, it had all been in cruisers. Airplane carriers were sufficiently different that Carsten had to initially make discrete suggestions but within a year Pottinger had acquired the necessary experience.
