In Episode 5 Lt. Knauer recounts the story of the JFK dinning in where in front of 350 officers and their wives and or girlfriends, Captain Tuttle was heard to yell at his wife in a degrading manner which astonished most if not all of the wives in attendance, but surely did not surprise any of the ships company officers. What Jerry O. Tuttle did to his wife is in fact the way he treated his crew the entire time he was commanding officer. Although most sailors curse and do so a lot, Jerry O. Tuttle was probably one of the most profane senior officers in the history of the modern navy.
