Frederick Herman Korth (September 9, 1909 – September 14, 1998) served as Secretary of the Navy during 1962-63; he was also Assistant Secretary of the Army in 1952-53. Appointed as Navy Secretary by President John F. Kennedy on 4 January 1962, he resigned October, 1963. Various sources cite reasons for Secretary Korth’s departure. He was president of the Continental National Bank of Fort Worth, Texas. Continental National Bank was a principal money source for the General Dynamics plant for the TFX (Tactical Fighter Experimental), which later emerged as the more well-known F-111 Aardvark[citation needed]. A commentary in the May, 1985 edition of Proceedings magazine exonerates Korth for any improprieties relating to the awarding of TFX.
