Citation:
The Navy Cross is awarded to Lieutenant Commander Andrew C. Bennett, U.S. Navy, for distinguished service in the line of his profession in command of the Al-11.
While en route from Newport to the Azores his submarine was separated from the escort and other submarines of the squadron, leaving him without a rendezvous.
Lieutenant Commander Bennett thereupon proceeded to his destination successfully, assuming the great responsibility of starting a 1,700-mile Atlantic Ocean run in winter weather in a submarine of the class that had never been considered reliable for service of this character.
