THE SHIP ' S CREST The official crest of FIFE, displayed on both the front cover and the adjacent picture is highly symbolic of the ship ' s namesake, Admiral James Fife, Jr, a great American naval officer. The dark blue and gold of the shield are the colors which are traditionally asso- ciated with the Navy and symbolize the sea and excellence. The shield is divided into three sections to represent the air, the surface of the sea, and the depths. The bomb burst extends into all 3 areas of the shield to reflect the versatility and striking power of the Spruance Class Destroyer. Admiral Fife was an especially distinguished sub- mariner. The bomb burst, whose barbs ra- diate in all directions, also refers to the abil- ity of a submarine to attack without warn- ing in any direction. Thus the bomb bursts alludes to Admiral Fife ' s service as well as symbolizing the Destroyers mission of Anti- submarine Warfare. The dolphins, old mari- time symbols, represent Admiral Fife ' s out- standing career, which encompassed both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and World Wars I and II. They are adapted from the submarine badges and represent Ad- miral Fife ' s chosen field of service as a sub- mariner. The red torpedo alludes to his sub- marine command during World War II, while the red color denotes his active ser- vice during the war, as well as the destruc- tive power of the torpedo. The three gold discs on the torpedo represent the three distinguished service medals awarded to Admiral Fife for his exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service during the war. The ship ' s motto, Successum Merere Conemur, meaning endeavor to deserve success, appears on the gold scroll beneath the shield.
