Navy approves valor award for units involved in 'Godzilla' film
WASHINGTON, DC — While enthusiastic about its participation in the latest Godzilla film, the Navy is being criticized for approving a major unit award to all who participated in the Hollywood blockbuster, Duffel Blog has learned.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus sparked the controversy after signing off on a Navy Unit Commendation (NUC), normally only awarded for valorous acts, to all ships and units that participated in the new Godzilla film.
Mabus justified the award on the grounds that the description of a NUC specifically states that it can also be awarded for "non-combat service which was outstanding when compared to other units or organizations performing similar service."
