"As Torpedo Gunner's Mate in charge of the depth charge crews during prolonged attacks on an enemy U-Boat, he performed his duties with commendable efficiency. There were no misfires or mistakes during the firing of many deliberate and several counter attack patterns, and the eventual destruction of the enemy U-Boat was largely due to this Petty Officer's efficient handling of the depth charge crews."
