By what criteria do you award medals?

The title's pretty self explanatory I guess. When you give out medals to the crew, how do you decide who gets them?
They gave me an Iron Cross to award to a crew member after my last patrol and, frankly, I don't think anybody deserved it. I mean, life on board a uboot is no picnic, but still; they're not exactly hotbeds of conspicuous heroism.
In the end I found myself awarding the Cross to my Watch officer because he got a bit wet while standing on watch. :p
Perhaps I should have saved the medal for a more memorable patrol in which half the crew ended up dead or something. :hmm:
