(Citation Needed) – SYNOPSIS: Motor Machinist’s Mate Second Class George M. Wolf, United States Coast Guard, was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for exceptional presence of mind and cool courage in saving the lives of two shipmates and possibly the lives of all hands on board when the C.G. 74327 on which he was serving collided with the U.S.S. S-418 at the entrance to Portsmouth Harbor off the coast of New Hampshire on 10 November 1944. Stationed in the engine room when the disaster occurred Motor Machinist’s Mate Second Class Wolf quickly went topside and brought aboard one man caught in the rigging and after getting a seriously injured comrade in a place of safety hurried to the wheelhouse where he found another unconscious seaman and carried his aft. Realizing that the vessel was sinking fast, he secured two life jackets on the helpless men and after checking the depth charges to see that they were on safe slid the wounded men into the water. Although he was unable to swim he went over the side and holding the two men together to prevent their being washed away by the heavy seas, maneuvered them toward the submarine where they were brought aboard.
