The Navy Cross is awarded to Seaman Second Class Arthur I. Mulligan, U.S. Navy, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service as member of the crew of the U.S.S. William Rockefeller when that ship was sunk by a torpedo on the night of May 18, 1918. Seaman Mulligan remained at his station until the ship was so far down at the stern end that the guns could not be manned. He went to the magazines, opened the same, and stood by until called to see that ammunition was sent to the guns.
