USN COMMAND EXCELLENCE and BATTLE EFFICIENCY AWARDS

 
  This line of products offers a convenient way to display your command's awards without time consuming painting.  All of our awards comply with COMNAVSURFORINST 3502.1c - so you can be confident you are receiving the correct size, shape, and color when you place your order with us.  For commands that are more traditional and still wish to paint the awards on the ship- we offer complete sets of every letter needed to be used as a templates.  They are made from 1/8" acrylic material- simply hold the letter against the ship, trace the outline, then paint in the letter.

 

 

Command Excellence Awards 

Each award is made from 1/8" acrylic that is cut out 100%- leaving no background color that may contrast with the color of the ship. They are cut from the correct color sheet stock, and are backed with an exterior grade double faced tape.  We also offer decals made from 3M 2mm high performance outdoor grade colored vinyl to apply directly to the ship.

                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • DFT Installation- Standard installations receive an outdoor grade DFT (double faced tape) backing. This is used when the awards are to be permanently displayed on the ship. Once they are installed- they stay put until you take them down. We have been told that our larger size 20"x25" awards have withstood 30' seas and 50 knot winds.
  • Magnetic Installation- We also offer a magnetic installation for those commands that  can not attach, or paint letters on the bridge wings- we developed a magnetic solution for display of your awards. They can be easily removed when under way, and re installed when you return. Although magnetic is a great way to display your awards- adhesion of magnetic awards depends on the condition of your display area.  We do not recommend magnetic backed awards for commands that want to keep them up when under way. 

So quick and easy to install,  the CO will get in on the fun!!

3” and 5” wide stripes are available in the appropriate colors. These stripes are also cut out 100% leaving no background color to contrast against the ship. Each stripe lays at the correct angle, and match the width of the corresponding letter award. The appropriate 3" and 5" stars are available as well.

For those with small display areas (MCM, MHC, ARS, PC), we have the ability to custom cut your hash marks at a shorter angle, and thinner size to save space at no extra charge - just inquire when requesting a estimate.

Battle Efficiency Awards                       

We offer 3 sizes of the larger drop-shadowed Battle “E” depending on the hull class of your ship. They are made from 1/8" white acrylic with a high performance black vinyl film applied to it for the 3 dimensional effect. They utilize a DFT installation, but can also be ordered with a magnetic backing if needed.

  If your command is good enough to have received the Battle "E" award for 5 consecutive years- we have the gold drop shadowed "E" as well with all of the hash marks and stars for your hull class.

The correct sized white stars and drop shadowed hash marks are also available in both DFT and magnetic installation solutions. The stars and hash marks match the specified size of the "E" depending on the hull class of your ship.
