===Navy warships===
Historically, during [[Most decorated US ships of World War II|World War II]] and the [[Korean War]], commendations called "battle stars" were issued to United States Navy warships for meritorious participation in battle, or for having suffered damage during battle conditions. As an example, the [[USS Enterprise (CV-6)#Awards and commendations|USS ''Enterprise'' (CV-6)]] received 20 battle stars for her combat service in World&nbsp;War&nbsp;II, more than any other U.S. vessel during World&nbsp;War&nbsp;II.
