Награждён Charles J. Libby
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Boilermaker Charles J. Libby, United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism on the occasion of the collision between the U.S.S. SHAW and H.M.S. AQUITANIA when the Shaw was cut in two and set on fire. Boilermaker Libby was thrown into the water where he found himself near two other men, both of whom were in a dazed condition. Having succeeded in securing two life preservers, he fastened these around the waists of the other men, and refused to be picked up by the U.S.S. Kimberley until both of the disabled men had been taken on board.

С высокой степенью вероятности принадлежала Harold Page Smith
Наградной на его черныша за Бали
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Lieutenant Commander Harold Page Smith, United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism and distinguished service in the line of his profession as Commanding Officer of the Destroyer U.S.S. STEWART (DD-224), in action against a greatly superior Japanese Naval force in the Badoeng Strait, off the Island of Bali, Netherlands East Indies, on the night of 19 - 20 February 1942. Although under heavy fire from the enemy, Lieutenant Commander Smith pressed home the attack which resulted in severe damage to the enemy, while receiving minor damage to his own ship and only one casualty to his personnel. The conduct of Lieutenant Commander Smith throughout this action reflects great credit upon himself, and was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Кавалера звали Lester Sherwood Wass.
Вот он сам
Вот его наградной на крест
The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Navy Cross (Posthumously) to Captain Lester S. Wass (MCSN: 0-3538), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving with the 5th Regiment (Marines), 2d Division, A.E.F. in action in Bois-de-Belleau, France, 11 June 1918, and near Vierzy, France, 18 July 1918. In the Bois-de-Belleau, when all the officers of his company had become casualties, Captain Wass displayed marked heroism in leading his men forward in the face of heavy machine-gun fire, assisting in the capture of many machine-guns. Near Vierzy he fearlessly exposed himself to enemy machine-gun and artillery fire, directing personally the reduction of strong points. He was killed at the head of his men, while leading an advance.
