Item Name / Model: Miniature U.S. Navy Unit Commendation (NUC) Pennant Assembly Item Type: Handheld Accessory / Building Block Figure Prop

Flag Component: The flag features a swallow-tailed burgee design printed on a rectangular tile with white cutout sections at the top and bottom fly ends to simulate the physical pennant’s tapered shape. It faithfully mirrors the official award ribbon design, featuring a broad hunter green central field bordered along the top and bottom edges by symmetrical stripes of scarlet (red), Spanish yellow, and royal blue. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures these distinct military ribbon colors.
-
Hardware & Fit: The flag piece is firmly secured to a standard cylindrical black flagpole using two specialized black clip attachments. The diameter of the black pole is perfectly scaled to snap securely into the C-shaped hand of a standard building block character, allowing a figure to hold it as a unit standard. (Note: The square black base plate shown at the bottom acts as a display stand and can be easily detached so the figure can actively carry the pole in military dioramas).
Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the official U.S. Navy Unit Commendation (NUC) Pennant. Established on December 18, 1944, by Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal during World War II, the Navy Unit Commendation is awarded to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps units that distinguish themselves through outstanding heroism in combat or extraordinarily meritorious service in support of military operations. Awarded warships fly this pennant from their mainmast, and military units carry it as an organizational award standard to signify collective valor and achievement. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic World War II or modern naval vessels, Pacific Theater command posts, and building block military commendation scenes.
