Denton was awarded the Navy Cross for his stand-up under pressure as a POW and eventually rose to Rear Admiral.  

His award citation mentions Morse Code:


Forced to attend a press conference with a Japanese correspondent, he blinked out a distress message in Morse Code at the television camera and was understood by United States Naval Intelligence. When this courageous act was reported to the North Vietnamese, he was again subjected to severe brutalities.
