From the June 6, 2015, Columbian "Off Beat: Pearl Harbor Survivor Gets Special Salute in Final Month" by Tom Vogt.
Martin Knapp died June 27, 2015, at 91.
He was on the USS Medusa, a Navy repair ship during the attack. He always regarded himself as lucky as the Medusa was usually docked where the USS Utah was that day. That ship was sunk, his was not.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
