Including the tag for the CMoH because the artist has (correctly) placed it in its proper place on Johnston's ribbon bar.
Interestingly, this also serves to imply that the MoH Johnston carries was indeed awarded to her, rather than being a reference to the one awarded to LCdr Evans.

Think of it this way. Admiral Willis Lee was awarded a Navy Cross for his actions during the Guadalcanal campaign. He famously told the crew of his flagship, the battleship Washington: "You won it, I wear it". I imagine if Evans had lived he would share the same sentiment with the crew of the Johnston.

It is literally a federal crime to wear a Congressional Medal of Honor that you did not earn, and it is also illegal to buy, sell, or trade one. If Johnston is wearing it, that means she earned it.

I imagine the whole idea of resurrecting historical warships into the bodies of women would cause some pretty significant changes in naval regulations.
