THE CREST The colors of the chevron in the lower portion of the shield are blue and gold. The 3 blue chevrons symbolize the as- sault landings in which Admiral Hall's out- standing leadership abilities contributed toward a successful conclusion. The top blue chevron is pointing in the direction of the embattled area which is in red. This represents the penetration of fortified land ares from sea. The colors blue and gold are traditional to the U S Navy and further allude to two awards of the Navy Distinguished Service Medal Admiral Hallg red and white refer to two awards of the Legion of Merit. The rampart heraldic goat refers to the Naval Academy where Admiral Hall's career began. The Naval cannon, along with a lightning bolt symbolizing electronic communications, allude to Admiral Hall's concept of cross training Navy gunners and Army artillerymen so that his ship call-fire missions could be conducted in direct support of troop advance on the land. The heraldic mount in the base represents the land areas upon which Admiral Hall's assault landing concepts proved so successful in the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Pacific battle areas.
