When we were on the gun line, we had a hang-fire in mount 52. Primer was punched, but it didn't go bang.
After about a 30 min. wait, a 3rd Class Boatswain's Mate named Ike Issacson volunteered to climb into the mount and extract the hot canister. He carried it out and threw it over the side. When we got back, he was awarded the Navy Commendation medal for valor.
