‘Men of Honor’ Diver Dies at 75
Navel hero
immortalized in
Hollywood film
(A P )-C a rl M. Brashear, a na­
val hero who was immortalized in
a Hollywood film, died July 25 at
age 75. Brashear was the first
black U.S. Navy diver, portrayed
by Cuba G ooding Jr. in the 2000
film “Men of Honor.”
Brashear, a native o f Sonora,
Ky., died at the Naval Medical
Center Portsmouth of respiratory
and heart failure, the medical cen­
ter said.
Brashear retired from the Navy
in 1979 after more than 30 years of
service. He was the first Navy
diver to be restored to full active
duty as an am putee, the result of
a leg injury he sustained during a
salvage operation.
In 1966, Brashear was tasked
with recovering a hydrogen bomb
that dropped into waters off Spain
when tw o U.S. Air Force planes
collided.
During the mission, Brashear
was struck below his left knee by
a pipe that the crew was using to
hoist the bomb out o f the water.
Brashear was airlifted to a naval
hospital where the bottom o f his
left leg was am putated to avoid
gangrene. It later was replaced
with a prosthetic leg.
The Navy was ready to retire
Brashear from active duty, but he
soon began a grueling training
program that included diving.
Carl M. Brashear
running and calisthenics.
“Sometimes I would come back
from a run, and my artificial leg
would have a puddle of blood
from my stump. I w ouldn't go to
sick bay because they would have
taken me out o f the program ,"
Brashear said in 2002 when he
was inducted into the G allery of
Great Black Kentuckians. “ In­
stead. I'd go hide somewhere and
soak my leg in a bucket o f hot
water with salt in it — th a t's an
old remedy I learned growing up."
After completing 6tX)-fix>t to
I .(XX)-foot-deep dives while being
evaluated for five weeks at the Ex­
perimental Diving Unit in W ash­
ington, D.C., Brashear became a
master diver in 1970.
Brashear faced an up­
hill battle when he joined
the Navy in 1948 at the
age o f 17, not long after
the U.S. military desegre­
gated.
"I went to the Army
office, and they w eren't
too friendly," B rashear
said in 2002. "B ut the
Navy recruiter was a lot
nicer. Looking back, I was
placed in my calling."
Brashear quickly d e­
cided after boot cam p that
he wanted to becom e a
deep-sea diver.
“G row ing up on a farm
in K entucky, I alw ays
dream ed o f doing som e­
thing c h a lle n g in g ,” he
said. “ W hen I saw the
divers for the first time, I
knew it was just wha, I w anted."
In 1954. he was accepted and
graduated from the diving pro­
gram, despite daily battles with
discrim ination.
“ Hate notes were left on my
bunk," he said. “They didn’t want
me to make it through the pro­
gram."
He went on to train for ad ­
vanced diving program s before
his 1966 incident.
Brashear m arried childhood
friend Junetta W ilcox in I952and
had four children - Shazanta.
DaW ayne, Phillip and Patrick -
before their divorce in 1978. He
later married Hattie R. Elam and
Jeanette A. Brundage.
