Montrose Graham McCormick graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in the Class of 1939.
He was killed in a non-hostile action airplane crash near Perth, Australia, on 19 April 1945. He was enroute to a new assignment as Commanding Officer of USS Pintado (SS-387), a Balao-class submarine.
McCormick was the recipient of two Silver Star Medals; one was for actions in 1943 and the second was for actions aboard the submarine USS Cobia (USS-245) during 26 June-14 August 1944.
His remains were not recovered. A cenotaph in his memory is located in Annapolis, MD, at the U.S. Naval Academy Cemetery in Section 03 - Lot 0321 B.
