PREFACE
nocaptionThe ships crest is a customized emblem designed specifically for a particular unit. It is often displayed on plaques, patches, decals and other memorabilia. The crest builds pride in the crew and is a daily reminder that the crew belongs to the best ship in the U.S. Navy. In past years crests were designed by and for the crew members.
Although not approved by Navy regulations until the 1950s, ships have decorated their bridges and smokestacks with their crests since
Today, ship crests are authorized for unofficial use only.
Each element of the design has a specific meaning. Most crests are designed by professionals, with the design being approved by the Naval Board of Heraldry.
