Is this correct?

Yes, correct.

I'm not looking for the specific objectives but I'm wondering about the tonnage sunk. Do you remember their approximate totals; did you sink "quality" ships (like a carrier, or a BB, or a couple of CA's) during these particular patrols? I guess I'm wondering; Did it feel to you that the patrols the CMOH's were awarded were "less accomplished" than the 14th patrol that the Navy Cross was awarded?

I don't have the specific data at hand at the moment, but all CMOH patrols were with tonnage around 50,000 to 60,000, and all were merchants and destroyers only. In one patrol I sank 2 Atago-Class cruisers, but can't remember if I was awarded the CMOH. I need to check when I am at home again.

And yes, I feel that for the 14th patrol I should have been awarded the CMOH and for the other patrols the NC, since in this patrol I was chasing Ozawa's Northern Force during the Battle of Leyte for about 75 nm, sank the 2 DD, 1 DE, and 1 CVE.

Maybe the tonnage should be set higher for "merchants only" patrols to get the CMOH, or, if this can be implemented, the number of tankers or any high-value ships should be taken into account.
