I believe the pin you are speaking of is called a Unit Crest. There are collectors of these and there are websites dealing with identifying the crests.

Does your meritorious unit commendation transfer to the army from the navy?
Navy Meritorious Unit Commendations do follow you to other branches. They are considered permanent awards from all branches, except the Army. Unit Commendations from the Army may not follow you to other branches, or even other units. As long as you were serving in the unit when the commendation was earned, it is a permanent award that you can wear on your uniform regardless of service. Otherwise, the wear of any unit award is only worn when you are actually assigned to that unit (temporary award).
