Arthur Howard Taylor
Arthur is a common male given name of Brythonic origin. Its popularity derives from it being the name of the legendary hero King Arthur. The etymology is disputed. It may derive from the Celtic ''Artos'' meaning “Bear”. Another theory, more widely believed, is that the name is derived from the Roman clan '' Artorius'' who lived in Roman Britain for centuries. A common spelling variant used in many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages is Artur. In Spanish and Italian it is Arturo. Etymology The earliest datable attestation of the name Arthur is in the early 9th century Welsh-Latin text ''Historia Brittonum'', where it refers to a circa 5th to 6th-century Briton general who fought against the invading Saxons, and who later gave rise to the famous King Arthur of medieval legend and literature. A possible earlier mention of the same man is to be found in the epic Welsh poem ''Y Gododdin'' by Aneirin, which some scholars assign to the late 6th century, though this is still a mat ...

Construction and commissioning ''Haddock'' (SS-231) was laid down at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine, on 31 March 1941. She was launched on 20 October 1941, sponsored by Mrs. William H. Allen, and commissioned on 14 March 1942, Lieutenant Commander Arthur H. Taylor (United States Naval Academy Class of 1927) in command.
