Daniel V. Gallery

Daniel Vincent Gallery was a rear admiral in the United States Navy. He saw extensive action during World War II, fighting UBoats during the Battle of the Atlantic, where his most notable achievement was the June 4, 1944, capture of the German submarine160U505. After the war, Gallery was a prolific author of fiction and nonfiction. During the postwar military cutbacks, he wrote a series of articles criticizing the heavy reductions being made to the US Navy. These articles placed him at odds with the administration during the episode which became known as the Revolt of the Admirals.

He had three younger brothers, all of whom had careers in the U.S. Navy. Two brothers, William O. Gallery and Philip D. Gallery, also rose to the rank of rear admiral. The fourth brother, John Ireland Gallery, was a Catholic priest and Navy chaplain. Their grandfather Daniel, born about 1839, emigrated to the U.S. from Ennistymon, Co Clare, Ireland, in the mid to late 1800s.
