Cassin Young, nicknamed "Ted" because of his admiration for President Teddy Roosevelt, was born in Washington, DC on 6 March 1894; his name was found in a search

In 1912 he was appointed a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy, where he graduated with the Class of 1916. There was probably little expectation among the members of the Class of '16 that "Teddy" Young would become an outstanding naval officer as he was far down the line (173 of 177) from those classmates who were destined to become famous admirals during World War II-Robert B. Carney, Arthur W. Radford, C. Turner Joy, and Lyman K. Swenson-but the author of his brief biographical sketch in the 1916 Lucky Bag, the Academy year book, was prophetic in his assessment: "Teddy isn't brilliant," he wrote, "he's too irresponsible to be considered as one of the more capable men in the Class, but he's got nerve with him, and that alone should pull him through many a situation."

After his graduation on 3 June 1916, Ensign Young reported to the battleship Connecticut for a first three-year tour of sea duty,

He reported to the Submarine School in New London for submarine training. For most of the next ten years he served in, or with, submarines

Sea duty was broken by assignments to shore duty in the Office of Naval Communications in Washington, and to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, where he served as an instructor in Engineering and Aeronautics

From June 1931 to May 1932 Cassin Young served on the battleship New York, first as communication officer and then as first lieutenant

His next assignment was as commanding officer of the old World War I-type destroyer Evans

He was then assigned to Headquarters, Eleventh Naval District, in San Diego

He next saw duty as commander, Submarine Division 7

In July 1939 he reported to the Submarine Base, New London, for duty as Executive Officer

In October 1941 he assumed command of the repair ship Vestal in Pearl Harbor. When the Japanese attacked the U.S. fleet on 7 December 1941, Vestal was moored alongside the battleship Arizona at Ford Island. Commander Young first went to the bridge of the ship, then took charge of a 3-inch anti-aircraft gun

When the USS Arizona was blown up, he was blown overboard from his own ship. Although dazed by the shock, he swam back, climbed on board, got his ship underway, and ran her aground where she could be salvaged. For this feat he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor

Medal of Honor
THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Congressional MEDAL OF HONOR to COMMANDER CASSIN YOUNG, U.S. NAVY for service during an attack on the United States Fleet in Pearl Harbor as set forth in the following CITATION:

For distinguished conduct in action, outstanding heroism and utter disregard of this own safety, above and beyond the call of duty, as commanding officer of the U.S.S. Vestal, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by enemy forces on 7 December 1941, Commander Young proceeded to the bridge and later took personal command of a 3-inch anti-aircraft gun. When blown overboard by the blast of the forward magazine explosion of the U.S.S. Arizona, to which the U.S.S. Vestal was moored, he swam back to his ship. The entire forward part of the U.S.S. Arizona was a blazing inferno with oil afire on the water between the two ships. As a result of several bomb hits, the U.S.S, Vestal was afire in several places, was settling and taking on a list. Despite severe enemy bombing and strafing at the time, and his shocking experience of having been blown aboard, Commander Young, with extreme coolness and calmness, moved his ship to an anchorage distant from the U.S.S. Arizona, and subsequently beached the U.S.S. Vestal upon determining that such action was required to save his ship

Franklin D. Roosevelt
For his meritorious service during the attack, Commander Young was also promoted to captain, and given command of the heavy cruiser San Francisco. On the night of 12-13 November 1942, during the naval Battle of Guadalcanal, that ship was heavily damaged and Captain Young was killed when a shell from a Japanese battleship exploded on the San Francisco's bridge

On 12 September 1943, Mrs. Eleanor McFadden Young, widow of Cassin Young, sponsored the U.S.S. Cassin Young (DD-793) during commissioning ceremonies at San Pedro, California

The ship was decommissioned in May of 1946 and given a well-deserved rest with the reserve fleet. The Cassin Young was recommissioned on 7 September 1951 at San Pedro and remained active until 29 April 1960 when it was finally inactivated. The National Park Service acquired the Cassin Young in 1978 and the ship is permanently moored at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston. The ship is open to the public for viewing

The following information was printed in a brochure provided by the Boston National Historical Park:
Destroyers in the U.S. Navy are generally named for Navy and Marine Corps personnel who have distinguished themselves in the service of their country. USS Cassin Young bears the name of a navy commander awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Commander Young was in command of the repair ship Vestal which was moored alongside battleship Arizona. When Arizona blew up, he was blown overboard along with many members of his crew. With Vestal taking on water from several hits and set afire from the blazing inferno that had been Arizona, the remaining crew began to abandon ship. Just as the first of the crew began to flee "a figure, like some sea creature, rose from the water and stood athwart the gangway. It was Ted Young… 'Where the hell do you think you're going?' he asked the first sailor. 'We're abandoning ship' the sailor replied. 'Get back aboard,' Young roared, 'You don't abandon ship on me!'" Young got the fires under control, picked up survivors from the Arizona and managed to move Vestal across the harbor where he beached her for later salvage. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Cassin Young was promoted to captain and given command of the heavy cruiser San Francisco. On the night of 12-13 November, 1942, during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, Captain Young died amidst an avalanche of shellfire from three Japanese warships. For his conspicuous gallantry in the fact of the enemy, he was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross. USS Cassin Young (DD 793) was commissioned in 1943, honoring this gallant officer.

Note[ data is from an HTML file ]

Adeliza of Leuven (also called Adela and Aleidis; 1103-23 April 1151) was queen consort of the Kingdom of England from 1121 to 1135, the second wife of King Henry I. She was the daughter of Godfrey I of Leuven, Duke of Lower Lotharingia, Landgrave of Brabant and Count of Leuven and Brussels

First marriage
Adelize married Henry I on 2 February 1121, when she is thought to have been somewhere between fifteen and eighteen years of age, whilst Henry was fifty-three. It is believed that Henry's only reason for marrying again was his desire for a male heir. Despite holding the record for the largest number of illegitimate children of any British monarch, Henry had only one legitimate male heir, William Adelin, who had predeceased his father on 25 November 1120 in the White Ship disaster

Adeliza was reputedly quite pretty and her father was Duke of Lower Lotharingia. These were the likely reasons she was chosen. However, no children were born during the almost fifteen years of the marriage

Queen
Adeliza, unlike the other Anglo-Norman queens, played little part in the public life of the realm during her tenure as queen consort. Whether this is because of personal inclination, or because Henry preferred to keep her nearby in hopes of her conceiving, is unknown and probably unknowable. She did, however, leave a mark as a patron of literature and several works, including a bestiary by Philip de Thaon, were dedicated to her. She is said to have commissioned a verse biography of King Henry; if she did it is no longer extant

When her husband died on 1 December 1135, Adeliza retired for a while to the monastery of Wilton, near Salisbury. She was present at the dedication of Henry's tomb at Reading Abbey on the first anniversary of his death

Second marriage
As she was still young she came out of mourning some time before 1139 and married William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Arundel, who had been one of Henry's chief advisors. She brought with her a Queen's dowry, including the great castle of Arundel, and Stephen of England created d'Aubigny Earl of Arundel and Earl of Lincoln

Although her husband was a staunch supporter of Stephen during the Anglo-Norman civil war, her own personal inclination may have been toward the cause of her stepdaughter Empress Matilda. When the Empress sailed for England in 1139, it was to her stepmother that she appealed for shelter, and she landed near Arundel and was received as a guest of the former Queen

Later life
Adeliza spent her final years in the abbey of Affligem (landgraviat of Brabant), which she richly rewarded with landed estates (three English villages called Ideswordam, Westmerendonam and Aldeswurda, probably near to Arundel)

She died in the abbey and was buried in the abbey church next to her father, duke Godfrey I of Leuven (d.1139). The abbey necrology situates her tombstone next to the clockwork. An 18th century floor plan of the church shows her tombstone located halfway up the left nave. Her grave was demolished however during the French Revolution (abt. 1798). Her bones had been found and she was reburied in the cloister of the re-erected Affligem abbey

Family
One of Adeliza's brothers, Joscelyn de Louvain (Jocelin, Gosuinus), came to England and married Agnes de Percy, heiress of the Percy family

Although it is clear that the former queen and Josecelin were very close, he may actually have been an illegitimate son of Adeliza's father and thus her half-brother. His children took their name from their mother's lineage, and their descendants include the medieval Earls of Northumberland

Adeliza also gave a dowry to one of her cousins when she married in England

Descendants
Seven of Adeliza and William's children were to survive to adulthood. Among them William d'Aubigny, 2nd Earl of Arundel, father to William d'Aubigny, 3rd Earl of Arundel who was one of the twenty-five guarantors of the Magna Carta

Adeliza also became an active patron of the church during her second marriage, giving property to Reading Abbey in honour of her former husband and to several other, smaller foundations

[ additional data / source unk ]

Adeliza of Louvain (d 1151), second queen of Henry I, was daughter of Godfrey ('Barbatus') of Louvain, duke of Brabant or Lower Lotharingia, descended in the male line from Charles the Great

The date of her birth is not known, but she is described as 'puella' in 1120. It was partly the report of her singular beauty (on which all the chroniclers are agreed), and partly 'ob spem prolis adipiscedae,' that Henry, then in his fiftieth year (and a widower since May 1118), sought her hand in the above year

The contract of marriage was signed 16 April 1120; but, owing to the delay in the bride's arrival, the marriage itself did not take place till 24 Jan 1120-1, the royal pair being crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury six days later

It was on this occasion that Henry of Huntingdon composed, in praise of her beauty, the elegance beginning: " Anglorum regina, tuos, Adeliza, decores Ipsa referre parans musa stupore riget". Of a gentle and retiring disposition she took no part in politics, but devoted herself to soothing and pacifying the disappointed and sullen king. She also interested herself greatly in the literary movement of the day, taking under her special patronage Geoffroi Gaimar, Philip du Than, the author of the 'Voyage de St Brandan,' and David the Trouveur

On the death of Henry (1 Dec 1135) she disappears from view; but it is probable that she retired to the castle of Arundel, which, with its honour, had been left to her in dower for life. We find her residing there in 1139, when the empress landed in the neighborhood, and was received into the castle "ab Adeliza quondam regis Henrici regina tunc autem amica vel uxore W. Comitis de Arundell"

The date of her marriage to William de Albini is unknown; but she left by him seven children, it cannot have been long after Henry's death

Her only recorded acts after 1189 are her foundation of the small priories of Pyneham and of the Causeway (De Calceto), and her benefactions to that of Boxglove, all in Sussex, with her gifts to Henry's abbey of Reading and to the cathedral church of Chichester. To the latter she presented the prebend of West Dean in the year 1150, after which date there are no further traces of her

It is stated by Sandford that 'she was certainly buried at Reading;' but she has since been proved to have left her husband and retired to the abbey of Affligam near Alost, in Flanders, which had been founded by her father and uncle, and to which her brother Henry had withdrawn in 1149. Here she died on 24 March 1151, and was buried: "Affliganam dalata vivendi finem facit ix kal aprilis et sepulta est e regione horologii nostri"

While the lady of Arundel who had subenfeoffed her brother Joceline in the lordship of Petworth on the occasion of his marriage with the heiress of the Percies, by whom he was ancestor of the earls of Northumberland
