The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Lieutenant Commander Stanley Page Moseley, United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession as Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. POLLACK (SS-180), on the FIRST War Patrol of that submarine during the period 13 December 1941 to 21 January 1942, off the coast of Kyushu in Japanese home waters. Despite intensive enemy air and surface anti-submarine patrols, Lieutenant Commander Moseley successfully made six attacks on enemy ships, sinking three of them totally 16,000 tons. Through his experience and sound judgment Lieutenant Commander Moseley brought his ship safely back to port without damage to the submarine or to the personnel of his command. His conduct throughout was an inspiration to his officers and men and in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
