Withers graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1906. He later became qualified in and commanded submarines. At the beginning of World War II in December 1941, he was Commander, Submarine Force, United States Pacific Fleet. In this role he championed the reliability and efficacy of the Mark 14 torpedo, at a time when submarine commanding officers were widely reporting that the torpedo's magnetic detonator proved ineffective in combat. Not long afterward, he was reassigned to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, in 1942, where he served for the remainder of the war.
Withers retired from the Navy in 1946 as a rear admiral with forty years of naval service. He died in Coronado, California, in 1953 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. Provided by Wikipedia
