During the Second World War, John F Kennedy was in command of a patrol torpedo boat designated as PT-109 during the Solomon Islands campaign. During said campaign, the Japanese destroyer Amagiri rammed the boat, slicing it in half, causing the death of two crewmen. The surviving crew made their way to Plum Pudding Island, where after six days of surviving on coconuts, they were rescued by Allied scouts.
