ELLIOT is the first Spruance-class destroyer to be named af- ter a Vietnam War hero. Lieutenant Commander Arthur James Elliot II, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert B. Elliot of Thomaston, Maine, was born 9 April 1933. He received a Bachelor of Sci- ence Degree from the Gorham State Teachers College in Gorha m, Maine, in 1955. In June 1956 he entered the Navy Officer Candidate School and was commissioned an Ensign in the Naval Reserve in October of that year. He then served suc- cessive sea duty tours in USS LYMAN K. SWENSON DD-729 and USS LITTLE ROCK CLG-4. In 1962 Lieutenant Com- mander Elliot was assigned as Aide and Flag Lieutenant to Commander, Naval Service Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet. Upon completion of that tour, he reported aboard USS JOHN KING DDG-3 for duty as the Operations Officer. In December 1967, Lieutenant Commander Elliot volun- teered for duty in Vietnam, where he served as Commanding Officer of PBR SQUADRON 57, operating in the Mekong Delta. Under his command, his squadron of river patrol boats achieved an outstanding combat record against the enemy, taking part in several major riverine operations. On 29 Decem- ber 1968, Lieutenant Commander Elliot was killed in action while leading his squadron in a riverine interdiction mission. Lieutenant Commander Elliot ' s awards include the Legion of Merit Medal, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Navy Expe- ditionary Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with two bronze stars, the Vietnam Gallantry Cross with palm, the National Order of Vietnam (5th Class), and the Vietnam Campaign Ribbon. ELLIOT ' S coat of arms serves as a heraldic remembrance of the ship ' s namesake, Lieutenant Commander Arthur James El- liot, II. The red, white and blue partitions of the shield are pat- terned after the insignia of Lieutenant Commander Elliot ' s command. River Squadron Fifty-seven. Red is the heraldic symbol of courage, zeal, and leadership; white symbolizes in- tegrity; blue represents devotion and perseverance. The un- sheathed sword is symbolic of command, and its position on the shield, point downward, is significant of death in combat. The crest, composed of a mainmast and mainsail, symbol- izes the Elliot family ' s long association with the nautical heri- tage of their native state of Maine. Generations of the family engaged in the shipbuilding and sailing trades, including Lieu- tenant Commander Elliot ' s paternal grandfather and namesake Arthur James Elliot, whose shipbuilding firm launched the last five-masted schooner ever built. The pine tree emblazoned on the sail is the symbol of the state of Maine. The ship ' s motto, Courage, Honor, Integrity, is representa- tive of those values which characterized Lieutenant Com- mander Elliot throughout his Naval career. The motto serves as both a guide and an inspiration for the men and officers who will serve aboard USS ELLIOT throughout her commissioned life.
