Ensign Herbert C. Jones, USNR
Portrait by Mrs. H.E. Ogden Campbell, a New York artist, who
presented it to the Midshipmen's School, Johnson Hall, N.Y.,
25 April 1944.
Ensign Jones graduated with the first Midshipmen class to be
trained aboard USS Prairie State (IX-15) in 1940. He was
killed in action on board USS California (BB-44) during
the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and was posthumously
awarded the Medal of Honor for his conduct at that time. He is
depicted here wearing that and other medals awarded posthumously.
