Navy Unit Commendation
The
Navy Unit Commendation of the
United States Navy is an award that was established by order of the
Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal on
18 December 1944. This commendation is awarded by the Secretary to any ship, aircraft, detachment, or other unit of the naval service of the United States Navy which has, subsequent to
6 December 1941, distinguished itself by outstanding heroism in action against the enemy, but not sufficient to justify award of the
Presidential Unit Citation.
