"Ordinary Seaman MacLean, during a successful action by HMCS Oakville against an enemy U-Boat, displayed great skill and resourcefulness in keeping up a heavy and accurate fire with an Oerlikon gun. His tenacity of purpose in manning the gun, despite stoppages due to defective ammunition, was worthy of commendation."
