This is my great uncle, David L. Martineau, at the time commanding the Phelps, I believe.  He won a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and various other commendations for his actions against the Japanese.

Rear Admiral David L. Martineau, at some point in his career.  Maybe someone who knows uniform/rank better can say what rank he held at the time.  More about my great uncle can be found at http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/special/ead/findingaids/0677-046/
