Navy Cross
The Navy Cross is the second highest medal that can be awarded by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. It was established by Act of Congress (Public Law 253, 65th Congress) and approved on February 4 1919. The Navy Cross is equivalent to the Distinguished Service Cross (Army) and the Air Force Cross (Air Force).
First Recipient
The first actual recipient of the Navy Cross is unknown because initial awards were made from a lengthy list published after the First World War.
