The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Lieutenant Commander [then Lieutenant] Frederick Calhoun Wyse (NSN: 0-100154), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Assistant Approach Officer and Navigator of the U.S.S. BAYA (SS-318), during the FOURTH War Patrol of that Submarine in Japanese-controlled waters from 20 April to 18 May 1945. Through his excellent judgment and thorough knowledge of attack problems, Lieutenant Commander Wyse rendered invaluable assistance to his Commanding Officer in conducting a series of successful attacks which resulted in the complete destruction of a valuable enemy convoy, including a man-of-war. His aggressiveness and gallant devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
