VADM Metzel was responsible for the successful
completion of the MK 48 torpedo after he left VON
STEUBEN. He took over a failing program and after
considerable effort, he succeeded where others failed.
The fact that our undersea weapon of choice, the MK48
(ADCAP) is in service today is due to the untiring efforts of this man.
Quote from Tom Pelick's (Penn State University) e-mail
to me dated 1/13/2001...."I had worked with Jeff Metzel on the MK48 project and keep in touch with him even to
this day. I consider him a good friend. He was one of the most straightforward and honest people I have ever
met. His concern was to do a good job, not what was best for him."
