5/16 inch star
A Inch Star is a miniature gold or silver inch star that is authorized by the United States Armed Forces as a ribbon device for a specific set of decorations of the Department of the Navy, Coast Guard, Public Health Service, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to denote subsequest decorations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.corpscpc.noaa.gov/procedures/corps_directives/chapter_12/ncd_ch12part6.pdf )〕 A gold star represents one additional award, while a silver star is worn in lieu of five gold stars.
The silver star devices ( and inch silver stars) occasionally get mistaken for the larger Silver Star medal.
== Inch Star usage ==
Inch Stars are worn on a medal suspension and service ribbon with one point of the star pointing up. Up to five stars can be worn on a ribbon. There are no higher degrees of inch stars authorized after five silver inch stars.〔 On miniature medals, a special inch star is worn on the medal's suspension ribbon in lieu of a inch star.〔Secretary of the Navy Instruction (SECNAVINST) 1650.1H, dated 22 August 2006, Subject: Navy and Marine Corps Awards Manual, paragraph 123.〕 If the number of authorized inch stars exceeds five, a second service ribbon is worn after the first service ribbon. The second service ribbon counts as one additional personal award, after which more stars may be added to the second ribbon. If future awards reduce the number of stars worn on the first ribbon due to gold inch stars being replaced by a silver inch star, the second service ribbon is removed and the appropriate number of star devices are placed on the first service ribbon.
