No existing or historical US Military or naval insignia has 8 stars. General of the Army is five stars in a pentagon arrangement. It is true individual battle stars were issued to various battle craft and these were painted on the superstructure in a prominent place- some ships may have received, say 8 or more battle stars. -But there is no rank insignia of 8 stars. an eight pointed star suggests a compass rose, and is associated with hunters, explorers, other outdoors types- but is not a military insignia.
