During world war ii, kennedy commanded a battleship destroyer pt boat submarine

During World War II, Kennedy commanded a PT BOAT.

During the Second World War, he stood out for his leadership as commander of the PT-109 torpedo boat in the South Pacific area. In a reconnaissance, the PT-109 was hit by a Japanese destroyer, which split the launch in two and caused an explosion. His crew swam to an island and survived until rescued. This feat gave him popularity and with it he began his political career.

the lachish letters were written by hoshaiah, a military officer stationed possibly in mareshah,   and sent to yaush, possibly the commanding officer at lachish.

the series of letters were written in carbon ink in ancient hebrew on clay ostraca, shortly before lachish fell to the babylonian army of king nebuchadnezzar in 588/6 bc during the reign of zedekiah, king of judah.
