Naval Star Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During World War II and the Korean Conflict, Battle Stars were issued to U.S. Navy ships for meritorious participation in battle, or for having suffered during battle conditions.

During the Vietnam Conflict, and afterwards, Engagement Stars and Campaign Stars were issued by the U.S Navy to U.S. Navy ships performing meritorious "engagements" with hostile forces.
