Alexei

Are four, because the first two are done with CCD scanner, with different light angle, end the other two with CIS scanner with light opposite angle.

The reverse scans have been bad ...
And as soon as they are good I will post.

Citation and Order:

During the Great Patriotic War against the German invaders, comrade Chemodanov showed himself a bold, resolute, and disciplined Seaman First Class–engine mechanic who possesses a thorough understanding of his specialty. Aside from his primary specialty, comrade Chemodanov has mastered a second specialty, namely that of loader of a 37-mm machine gun. During combat missions comrade Chemodanov displayed exceptional boldness and fortitude. During the disembarkation of a landing force at Ozereika, a formation of aircraft swept down on the ship. Comrade Chemodanov handled his duties as a loader perfectly when the dive-bomber attack was being repelled.

On February 24-25, 1944, during a combat mission to search for the submarine M-120 and provide assistance to the submarine, comrade Chemodanov, despite unfavorable weather conditions and a gale, stood watch vigilantly for a missing person and during his own shift at the main engine. He handled the responsibilities assigned to him perfectly, despite the fact that the watch lasted for 14 hours on end.

During repairs comrade Chemodanov displays examples of hard work and industriousness. He exceeds the norms by 50–100 percent, seeking to return the ship to service as soon as possible.

For the boldness, courage, discipline, and exceptional industriousness he displayed during combat missions in the struggle with the German-fascist invaders, Seaman First Class Yevgeny Vasilyevich Chemodanov deserves the Medal of Ushakov.
