So...I did some research - did not take long - and I present to you the following list:

1. Campaign Star = American Campaign Medal

2. The Submarine Service medal = there wasn’t any so let’s substitute the Navy Good Conduct medal

3. The Medal of Valor = Navy Distinguished Service Medal

4. Victory Cross = Navy Cross
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_Cross

5. The Wound Medal = authentic Purple Heart
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Heart

6. The Patrol Star = authentic Silver Star
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Star

These are existing awards - I believe we need to add a couple - see below - but we will have to modify the actual award structure. Can anyone assist w/ that task?

Need to add:
a. Congressional Medal of Honor = Navy version
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Medal_of_Honor

B. Bronze Star
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Star_Medal

Thanks.

The campaign medal should be the Asiatic-Pacific Theater Campaign Medal.

And I believe that since 'Dolphins' symbolise sub service maybe the Navy Commendation Medal w/ bronze 'V' device for valor can be substituted for the Submarine Service Medal.
