In Navy streamers, how many Bronze Stars are equivalent to one Silver Star?

• A. Five Bronze Stars
• B. One Bronze Star
• C. Ten Bronze Stars
• D. Fifteen Bronze Stars

Answer: (A)

In Navy streamers, awards for the same decoration are shown with Bronze Stars, and there’s a standard conversion to reflect higher honors. Five Bronze Stars are treated as equivalent to one Silver Star. This means the Silver Star is a higher designation, and five Bronze Stars count as that single Silver Star on the streamer. So the correct match is five Bronze Stars. One Bronze Star is just one award; ten would indicate two Silver Stars; fifteen would indicate three Silver Stars, not the single Silver Star in question.
