Coat of Arms
USS ARLEIGH BURKE QDDG 5'lj
The Shield
The crest outlined in blue and gold stands for the outstanding
achievements in battle of Admiral Burke against the naval power of
japan, a formidable foe. 2 n
The fist and mace symbolize the offensive defense power of the
new destroyer. The mace, also a symbol of authority, represents
Admiral Burke's outstanding service as Chief of Naval Operations. lt
also refers to Admiral Marc Mitscher, an influential figure and men-
tor, for whom Admiral Burke served as Chief of Staff.
Admiral Burke's Destroyer Squadron 23, represented by the
boarder of 23 ovals, was the only United States Destroyer Squadron
awarded a Presidential Unit Citation, signified by the canton of blue
yellow, and red. The ovals also refer to the year 1923 in which
Midshipman Burke was graduated from the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis. Twenty-three also reflects Admiral Burke's
distinguished service on the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations as
KOP-23l
The Crest
The mounted figure of St. George recalls Admiral Burke's cele-
brated victory in the Battle of Cape St. George over japanese naval
forces. His mantle bears a gold cross for the Navy Cross awarded to
the Admiral. The birch branch on the helmet represents Admiral
Burke himself, a reference to his name derived from his Scandina-
vlan heritage. The red sea dragon symbolizes japanese naval power
assaulted by the forces under Captain Burke's command. It is gorged
ifvlth the two gold stars he was awarded for outstanding service The
tance impaling the dragon signifies ordinance on target. The capa-
bl ities of theinbew destroyer, the most powerful and survivable ever
UI t, are signified .by the full armor and equipment of the warrior St
George. The Admiral's nickname "31-K t B k "' I l

Launching
"Special ceremonies at the launching
of a new ship are among our oldest tradi-
tions. For thousands of years our nautical
ancestors have done so. For us, as it was
for them, the sea is vast, powerful, and
unpredictable - demanding the utmost
of the men and of the ships who ven-
tured far from shore and safety. Instinc-
tively, they sought divine protection for
their craft from the tempests and dan-
gers posed by the sea. While we are still
concerned about dangers to our ships
from that quarter, our greatest concern
lies with the potential dangers posed by
other Men-O-War both above and be-
neath the surface. Against these great
dangers, we also ask for divine provi-
dence."
