COAT OF ARMS USS CHANDLER (DDG 996) SHIELD . . . Dark blue and gold are the colors traditionally as- sociated with the Navy and symbolize the sea and ex- cellence. The wavy Chevron, compass rose and pheons symbolize the northward sweep through the Phil- ippines, in which Rear Admiral Theodore Edson CHANDLER participated and which ended, for him, in Lingayen Gulf where he earned, for extraor- dinary heroism, the Navy Cross, represented by the convex cross patee. The pheons and compass rose also denote the guided missile striking capabilities of a KIDD Class destroyer. CREST . . . The rampant demi-lion, a symbol of courage and fighting spirit represents Admiral CHAND- LER ' S extraordinary heroism. The fountain denotes Lingayen Gulf, the wall and flames the firey bridge of the flagship, LOUISVILLE, from which Admiral CHANDLER continued directing the pre-invasion bombardment support units after a suicide bomber had crashed the flag bridge. He remained stouth- earted and indomitable among the flames. MOTTO . . . AD MORTEM FIDELIS is the CHANDLER family motto. The translation, FAITHFUL UNTIL DEA TH, aptly describes Rear Admiral CHAND- LER ' S extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty in giving his life to sa ve his ship. It also summarizes the commitment of each CHANDLER sailor to en- dure the burden of maintaining his freedom and that of his loved ones and countrymen. MISSION . . . Required to operate offensively, in the pres- ence of air, surface, and subsurface threats with carrier strike forces or amphibious assault forces; to provide protection to these forces, and to anti-subma- rine forces, underway replenishment groups and mili- tary and mercantile convoys, against subsurface or surface threats; and to provide gunfire support to am- phibious land campaigns.
