Hubert Aaron is incorrectly listed on many casualty lists and other modern resources as “Hubert Charles Titus Aaron”. He is the first name on every list and inscribed (correctly) on the Memorial Wall. Let's get this right! His Birth Certificate shows no middle name. He is listed on most muster rolls and crew data sheets as Aaron, Hubert (n). According to USS Arizona Survivor, Vincent James "Jim" Vlach, the use of (n) after a name on the muster rolls designates no middle name (not used on final ROC). Other government documents from that time show him as simply Hubert Aaron. Also note that the Memorial Wall lists him as only “H. Aaron” with no other initials.
