For Clarityfiend: I wrote, "It was while serving aboard this ship that Callaghan first met Ross McIntire, a surgeon, who would later have a significant effect on the former man's career." In this context, "former man" refers to Callaghan, just as "latter man" (if I had used that phrase) would refer to McIntire. One could also have used "first man" to indicate Callaghan and "second man" to indicate McIntire. Just a comment to clarify, since you seemed puzzled. Janggeom ( talk) 05:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
I have rewritten the article over the past few days, expanding it and providing more references. I have also included a reworked photograph of the subject (in the infobox) that shows much more detail than the earlier version. Janggeom ( talk) 10:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Being unfamiliar with the Guadalcanal story and Admiral Callaghans death there, I could not find it anywhere in Wikipedia in the past. Then it appeared, finally people could see how he fought and was killed in battle. Then when I went back to read it again, someone removed it. People want to know the story. Who ever deleted Callaghans story, please put it back.
This article states: "By order of President Roosevelt, both Rear Admirals Callaghan and Scott were posthumously awarded the Navy version of the Medal of Honor." While indeed the MOH awarded to members of the different services (Army, Navy, and Air Force) are physically somewhat different in detail, they are all the same award for valor. The qualification would appear to be doubly odd as it is unlikely he would have been awarded the Army or (had it existed at the time) Air Force MOH. By comparison, the wiki article for RAdm. Scott just specifies that he was awarded the MOH without further comment as to it being the Navy version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.90 ( talk) 12:36, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
