He was the first African American in the U.S. Navy to serve aboard a fighting ship as an officer, the first to command a Navy ship, the first fleet commander, and the first to become a flag officer, retiring as a vice admiral. In this episode, CMC Richard Curtis, USN (Ret), recalls what it was like to serve on the USS Falgout under Gravely's first command.
