Manning Marius Kimmel (April 22, 1913 – on or around July 26, 1944) was a United States Navy submarine officer in World War II and the son of Admiral Husband E.

His father was Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, who eventually became the commander of the Pacific Fleet at the time of the attack by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

At the outbreak of hostilities, just after which his father was relieved of his command, Drum operated off the east coast of Honshū where Kimmel had his first formal experience with combat.

When diving to escape the aircraft, the main induction flooded and the boat plunged towards the bottom until Kimmel stopped her descent at 350 feet.

Admiral Christie was concerned that Kimmel was being overly aggressive, and submarine commander Herber "Tex" McLean commented on Robalo's patrol, "Anybody else would have come home long before.

Christie had received reports of Japanese minefields in the Balabac Strait, but a number of submarines, including Robalo on her first patrol, successfully transited the body of water.

The note was eventually smuggled to the wife of a guerrilla leader, Dr. Mendoza, who then forwarded the information to Admiral Ralph Christie.

The Japanese reportedly flew into a rage at the attack, pushed Kimmel and several other Robalo crew members into a ditch, doused them with gasoline, and set them afire.

In 1994 Manning III's two sons, South Carolina broadcaster Manning Kimmel IV (born 1948) and his brother Thomas appeared before a Senate subcommittee, attempting to have Admiral Kimmel restored to four-star rank and exonerated of accusations of mismanagement of the naval response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
