    The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Electrician’s Mate First Class Allen G. Brewington (NSN: 3560467), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in the line of his profession as leading auxiliary electrician of the U.S.S. HADDOCK (SS-231), during an aggressive and highly successful war patrol of that Submarine in enemy-controlled waters. His loyalty and devotion to duty in maintaining the auxiliary-electricians during four successful attacks resulted in the sinking of over 32,000 tons of enemy shipping. His outstanding leadership and coolness in emergencies were an inspiration to all with whom he served, and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
