navy cross
The Navy Cross is the highest award for valor in combat that can be bestowed by the United States Department of the Navy, and so is typically held by members of the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, or United States Coast Guard (while operating under the Department of the Navy, as for instance during World War II).
Among U.S. military decorations, the Navy Cross is second only to the United States Medal of Honor in precedence, although it has equivalents in the country's other armed forces.
The Navy Cross is part of the uniform of several American shipgirls in Kantai Collection, including Samuel B. Roberts and Northampton.
