JBFloyd Posted February 17, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 17, 2007 This is an area of limited research. I see a fair number of sport and competition-related medals from ships, but rarely one for merit. I suspect that these were given out for acts that could not be recognized in other ways (i.e., pre-Commendation Ribbon days and not up the standards for a meritorious mast). Perhaps to gun captains who were successful in fleet competition, or those who were instrumental in attaining an "E" rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
