Navy battle stars were awarded to Navy combat units during WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam who successfully completed (i.e., they weren't sunk) combat war patrols, or saw combat action against the enemy. Granted, there were likely posthumous awards, but that's hardly gratifying.
Since then, the annual "Battle E" (Battle Efficiency) is awarded instead to the best combat units who have displayed superior battle efficiency in place of combat operations against the enemy.
This is due in large part to the fact that their haven't been any Naval campaigns or major Naval battles/combat action in over 40 years.
