Issue Regulations: Navy Unit Commendation Medal
http://www.amervets.com/replacement/nuc.htm#isr

Established by the Secretary of the Navy on December 18, 1944 and awarded by the
Secretary with the approval of the President, this Unit commendation is
conferred on any ship, aircraft, detachment, or other unit of the U.S. Navy or
Marine Corps which, subsequent to December 6, 1941, distinguished itself by
outstanding heroism in action against the enemy, but not sufficient to warrant
award of the Presidential Unit Citation. It is also awarded for extremely
meritorious service not involving combat but in support of military operations
which were outstanding when compared to other units performing similar service.
