Here is the original citation for his second Red Banner #150328 listing his entire service record to November 1944. Some very familiar names. Unfortunately his first Red Banner has not yet made it onto "the site".
I feel that the first Red Banner would have been a Lenin had it been after the introduction of the Red Banner as a long service award. Rescuing a Gunboat was a great saving for the Fleet and some much needed firepower.
