The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Lieutenant Commander [then Lieutenant] Enders Phillip Huey (NSN: 0-100295), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Gunnery and Torpedo Officer of a United States Submarine during a War Patrol in enemy Japanese-controlled waters. Displaying technical skill, Lieutenant Commander Huey rendered invaluable service by his careful maintenance of torpedoes and by his expert operation of the torpedo data computer on an aggressive War Patrol which resulted in the sinking of three enemy ships totaling over 27,500 tons and in seriously damaging a hostile warship and light cruiser totaling over 12,000 tons with the remarkable record of eighty-nine percent hits for all torpedoes fired. His courage, determination and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
