(Tribune News Service) â When Cmdr. Corey Odom talks to new members of his crew on the destroyer USS Gravely, he likes to highlight something the Navyâs first Black admiral, Samuel Gravely, always stressed.
âHe wanted to be best at whatever he was: enlisted sailor, executive officer, commander,â Odom said. âHe said the way to do that was education, motivation and perseverance.â
Gravely, a Richmonder who enlisted shortly after Pearl Harbor, was the first Black to command a combatant ship and served as a vice admiral in command of Third Fleet. Heâll be honored Wednesday by Gov. Ralph Northamâs proclamation of June 2 as Admiral Gravely Day, and a group from the destroyer is headed up to the Virginia War Memorial for the ceremony.
