Do any of the crew show rank insignia? Officers with railroad tracks, PO crows? We've already seen an obsolete USMC insignia. If the Weapons Officer has bars on his collar that's a more literal violation of this statute than any medal would be.
I think you may be on to something there. Look at Battle of Midway, I thought they perhaps had not researched military/USN rank and uniform insignia for the game, but this could explain it. It has to be pretty easy to obtain permission though, since hundreds of movies and games have used the correct wares.
