Family and Shipmate Comments:

Calvin B. Harris (AWCS Ret.):
Clint Helenehi was the finest Navy chief that I have ever met or served with. All AWs and ASW folks owe Clint big time for his early campaigning and politiking for our profession and his tactics inventions. He was extremely firm, but fair and consistent.

"Rocket Bob" Donaldson (AWC Ret.): I remember Clint well from my own training days at VS-41. Quite the imposing figure he was, but always provided me with positive feedback during my training.
