U.S. sub skipper received Navy Cross
Washington, April 25 (AP) –
Lt. Cdr. Richard G. Voge, of Chicago, has been awarded the Navy Cross by Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Pacific Fleet commander, for submarine successes against Japanese ships, the Navy announced today.
Part of the successes, the announcement said, were achieved when he was in command of the submarine Sailfish, formerly called the Squalus. Voge was credited with scoring torpedo hits on an aircraft carrier in Makassar Strait and on a cruiser. He was in command of the submarine Sealion, destroyed at Cavite to prevent it from falling into Japanese hands.
Voge was born in Chicago in 1901 and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1925.
