Thanks Eugene,
I've been trying to patch some incomplete research together and was hoping someone would confirm for me that Vorkov was the Captain. I don't have a citation (only an award transmittal order and award card) but I have one of Vorkov's Red Banners that was awarded to him in April 1942. Hopefully, I can figure out how he earned this RB by looking into the ship's history. Interestingly, it appears that at the end of the war, he bacame captain of the German light cruiser Nurnberg which was surrendered as war reparations. The Nurnberg became the Admiral Makarov sometime in 1946.
Thanks again for your help.
