WestPac '88 Feb. 11 - Aug. 11, 1988 USS Samuel Gompers QAD-371 FPO San Francisco, CA 96641-2515 Volume 13 Service Supreme The keystone-shaped insignia of USS SAMUEL GOMPERS symbolizes the importance of her support to the Navy's fleet. The American eagle represents the strength of the United States and the concept of power for peace. Superimposed on the eagle is a composite of symbols that represent the major technical skills that comprise the core of the ship's capabilities: The anchor represents deck services - boat and crane operations, rigging and cargo handling. The gear depicts those ra- tings whose members provide machinery and hull re- pairs for other ships. lt also represents those who supply engineering support services. The missile illustrates the ordnance and weapons support the SAMUEL GOM- PERS furnishes to combatant ships. The electron orbits represent the newest generation of skills required in the modern Navy - technicians skilled in electronics. lt is a fitting symbol for a ship whose crew never pro- vides anything less than Service Supreme. USS Sllllll GUIPERS
