The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Legion of Merit to Captain George P. Enright, United States Navy, for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States as Commander Task Troup 6.2 from 15 June to 30 September 1955. In the face of adverse weather and dangerous ice conditions, Captain Enright safely escorted a large force through poorly charted waters to designated sites on the eastern shore of Baffin Island. Throughout the entire operation, he skillfully employed his available forces, with the result that his Group’s difficult mission was completed ahead of schedule with only superficial damage to his ships, when experience indicated greater damage could be expected.
