That's why I don't have the CMH as the highest award with "U.S. Medals Fix II". Just not right to award the CMH for tonnage sunk.

Neither is the Distinguished Service Medal.....it was for "exceptionally mertorious service to the government in a duty of great responsibility". In my opinion, this criteria does not hold true of a sub Captain, and especially not of an enlisted crewman. What I have found is the medal is usually bestowed to senior "Navy Flag and Marine Corps General Officers" not rank and file sub Captains and definitely not to an enlisted man.

Yes, it does. It has the same upc files as the U.S. Medals Fix II
