Q2: The "Congressional Medal of Honor" is a well known award. Are the following claims true or false?
a) WW2 saw the highest number of MoH's awarded if any armed conflict?
b) No persons were awarded the medal twice during WW2?

As the Americans handed these out with the rations in WW2, (In 3 Div you'd be stiff to miss out) does it mean as much as say the V.C?

Q1: The British submarine commander Jimmy Launders achieved two milestones in submarine warfare. What two feats did he and his crew accomplish? (The two are quite similar with a small but significant difference.)

I am not sure if more were given out in the Civil War, but that war was the first one in which the medal existed. I remember a few years ago seeing a list of CMoHs from the Civil War that were revoked. Would that impact the answer?

To add to the Medal of honor distribution discussion.

By conflict

Indian Wars 426 The french indian wars? More like 1860-1898s running around "moving" indians into reservations etc...
I say from 1860s since the medal isnt instituted until then, so any part of the indian wars before naturally couldnt bestow any MoH.

I'm gonna sum it up as so many have responded since I placed these Qs;

Kaletsch is very close on Q1, they were indeed the first submarine crew to sink a surfaced submarine by torpedo, the other one is not correct. But part two is very close to this answer [;)]

Q2 - The highest ammount of MoH's handed out in an armed conflict was during the "ACW", and noone recieved the MoH twice during WWII.

Q3 - Hornet is correct

Q4 - Wacht am Rhein is also correct

Q5 - still stands

Q1 The torpedo the U-boat fired circled back and sank the U-boat?

Which American sub accomplished this feat in the South China Sea?

ORIGINAL: terje439

Nope [:)]
Lets sum up Q1,
Part 1: The British crew torpedoed and sank a surfaced submarine. The first crew to achieve this.
Part 2: somewhat similar to Part 1, with one major difference.
Now, read carefully at Part 1, and Part 2 should reveal itself [;)]
