Hi dragos03,

No idea of the first question :cry:
The second question??
"The destroyer NMS Regele Ferdinand, after being lightly damaged by a 76.2 mm shell during the night, was the target of no less than 33 air attacks between 0600 and 1030 hours. The low altitude attacks were repelled using the 120 mm main guns, while the AA artillery shot down several enemy aircraft. At 0930 hours, a Soviet 152 mm battery targeted the destroyer. Lt. cmdr. Titus Samson, the ship's captain, ordered immediately to put the engines in full reverse, avoiding the next salvo, which would have undoubtedly hit the vessel. The 120 mm guns returned fire and their shells fell close to the positions of the enemy battery, silencing it. Eventually the Regele Ferdinand was hit beneath the waterline by a bomb that didn't go off, but made a hole in one of the fuel tanks. With 11 members of the crew killed and 28 wounded, plus 10 dead passengers and many more wounded, loosing fuel, the destroyer set out for Constanta at 1030 hours, being continuously attacked by aircraft. En route it picked up 6 Germans and two Romanians on a raft. They were survivors from the Teja. NMS Regele Ferdinand arrived in the vicinity of Constanta. Because it ran out of fuel, it had to be towed to port."

Corect. Your turn again.

I would add that the commanders of the operation insisted to keep Regele Ferdinand near Sevastopol as long as possible. Being the most powerful ship, it attracted most of the enemy attacks, allowing the other ships to continue the evacuation.

I will write a more detailed description of the ship's mission when I have the time.

Hello,

What award fits the following description:- "Awarded to officers for special deeds and exceptional services on the battlefield (with Military Virtue ribbon) or for ordinary deeds and special services on the battlefield. By WW2 it was the third Romanian military order in importance."
