1 C\ above, son of Mrs. T. B. Carver cf Robbinsville, recently received a
bronze star medal with the foil nvinjr citation from Admiral C. W.
Nimitz:
"For jperitorkus service in action in the performance of his
duties as Electrician's Mate in charge of the Main Electrical Plant
in a United States Submarine during a war patrol of that vessel.
His judgment, skill and supervision of the main Electrical Plant in
his ship maintained that department in the highest condition f
efficiency and readiness, thereby contributing directly to the suc
cess of his vessel in conducting asrgrcssive torpedo attacks against
an enemy convoy and within a period of three hours accomplishing
the sinking of every ship and escort in the convoy for a total of over
35,000 tons. His efficiency and coolness during enemy counter
measures greatly assisted his ship in conducting successful evasive
tactics. His conduct throughout was an inspiration to all with whom
he served and in keeping with the highest traditions of the naval
service".
