As commander of the Guadalcanal hunter-killer Task Group TG.22.3, Captain Gallery used the motto "Can Do" to inspire the sailors of his command. Successfully capturing U-505, Guadalcanal sailors painted the motto on the conning tower. This event marked the first time U.S. Navy forces successfully captured an enemy warship on the high seas since the War of 1812, when the American sailors from the sloop Peacock seized the brig HMS Nautilus. Aware of the historical significance of capturing U-505, Kenneth A. Knowles conceived the covername used to classify the captured German warship-referring to U-505 in the dispatches as "NEMO." An avid Jules Verne reader, Knowles chose the covername from the fictitious "Captain Nemo" who commanded the submarine Nautilus in the classic science fiction novel 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. Shortly before departing on the war patrol which ultimately resulted in the capture of U-505, Gallery received a detailed briefing from Knowles and other COMINCH officers. In appreciation for this predeployment assistance, Gallery presented a copy of this photograph to Knowles in the fall 1944.
