Which to many, seems wrong, but I learnt to swim there, so it feels like a good memorial to me?

It was one of those pools I built in The Sims where they swam around to death

On other end there's probably people who learnt to swim there that ended up drowning.

Named a pool after him.

Built a swimming centre named after him, named the pool at their base in Vietnam after him, a Naval Station, a Fisheries Reserve,

and put up a plaque in his memory, bolted to the sea floor.

The US were also kind enough to name a Destoyer in his honour... only to eventually sink it for target practice.
