Lieutenant Commander (retired) Albert Nashman (19 November, 1887 – 30 October, 1974) served in the United States Navy.

Life & Career

Nashman was born in New Jersey and enlisted in the US Navy at an unknown date before World War I. He accumulated over 8 years of enlisted service, rising to the rate of Chief Quartermaster, before receiving a temporary commission as Ensign in 15 March, 1918. He was promoted to the temporary rank of Lieutenant (Junior Grade) on 21 September, 1918 and his appointment was revoked on 31 December, 1921. As a result of the Act of May 7, 1932, Nashman and all other former enlisted men who had served in a commissioned status were placed on the Retired List at their highest earned rank. In World War II, Nashman was recalled to active duty on 20 June, 1942. He was promoted to the temporary rank of Lieutenant on 24 June, 1943. In 1947, he was listed as a retired Lieutenant Commander in the Register of Officers.[1][2][3][4][5]

Nashman's commissioned service included time on destroyer Tarbell and light cruiser Detroit. In late 1919 he joined patrol craft Eagle 6 and by January, 1921 was commanding officer, serving in this role until about October, 1921.[6][7][8][9] Further information on his service, if any, upon reverting to enlisted rank, or for his active duty service in World War II, has not yet been located.
