description=The medal has the replica of sea lion holding at a dagger in its right hand and sampaguita in the left, wholly superimposed on the anchor in relief and in gold. Encircling the blue disc is a garland consisting of laurel leaves superimposing the cross which is in gold with sharp edges at the end of its flange. The grooved border is in gold and placed between the flanges below the level of the garland. The sea lion over an anchor is the national symbol of the sea-borne people; Sampaguita stands for dignify; the navy blue background is for sincerity and devotion; the garland for gallantry; the golden cross stands for risk of life and sacrifice; and the grooved border stands for signing performance.

The ribbon has three white stripes in the center interlined alternately against the light blue background.
