Gratitude from a part of the Navy ( Eng. Navy Unit Commendation ) is a military award for military units of the US Navy . The award was established by order of the Minister of the Navy, James Forrestal, on December 18, 1944. A ribbon is awarded to any ship, plane, squad, or other United States Navy or Marine Corps unit that distinguishes itself in battle against an enemy with outstanding heroism. The right to receive this award is comparable to the right to receive the Silver Star [1] .

In addition to their personal awards, U.S. military personnel wear uniforms that their unit has been awarded. These awards are worn separately from personal awards on the right side of the chest with a laurel leaf pattern. Repeat awards are also marked by clusters (oak branch, leaf, asterisk, letter, number, diamond) placed on a ribbon [2]
