	11k	Stanford Caldwell Hooper (16 August 1884 - 6 April 1955) was born in Colton CA and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1905. Serving in various ships of the fleet, but always with an interest in the then new art of the "wireless", Hooper was appointed Fleet Radio Officer in 1912. A radio observer during the first part of World War I, he headed the Radio Division of the Bureau of Engineering until America's entry into the war. Hooper commanded USS Fairfax (DD-93) during 1917-18 while on convoy duty, and received the Navy Cross. Following the war he became the guiding force behind the development of radio communications and electronics in the Navy, serving in various technical posts until his retirement in 1943. Rear Admiral Hooper was retained on active duty until 1945, and held offices with civilian firms in the electronics field until his death 6 April 1955. He was the recipient of many awards for his work in radio, and is honored annually by the Navy through the Rear Admiral S. C. Hooper Trophy, given to the outstanding electronics division in the Naval Reserve. USS Hooper (DE-1026) was the first ship to be named in his honor.		Navsource

	162k	If you were stationed at RTC Great Lakes in the late 60's you would have had most of your instruction via video link or prerecorded programs. This painting of USS Hooper appeared behind the instructors. I went through Great Lakes in July 1969 and the painting was still there in 1975 when I was on a two week Reserve Duty assignment.
