Anybody remember him in the short lived sitcom CPO Sharkey?
From a Navy Chief Facebook page.
Though he was not a Chief, his CPO Sharkey in the mid '70s made every one in America know what a Navy Chief was although his was a caricature of a real chief. He served in the Navy he was a Seaman 1st Class on a PT Boat Tender in the South Pacific during WW II. He once said Sharkey was a collage of the chiefs he knew during his navy time, some good men and leaders some not so much, Rest in Peace CPO Sharkey/ Seaman 1st Class Rickles, you may stand relieved we have the watch. Bravo Zulu Sailor.
