I COAT OF ARMS Uss STUMP nn 9785 The heroic and distinguished naval career of Admiral Felix B. Stump is reflected in the ship's coat of arms. The many decorations received by Admiral Stump for his exemplary service in the Pacific theater during World War II are represented in the shield. The blue silhou ette cross refers to the Navy Cross awarded him twice while in command of Carrier Division 243 the white central star denotes the Silver Star Medal awarded for con spicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against enemy-held islands. The Legion of Merit, which he was awarded three times, is indicated by the crossed arrow-s in scarlet and white. The U.S. Army Distinguished Service Medal, received for excep tionally meritorious service as Commander of a combined operations center during the early part of the war is represented by the colors scarlet, white, and blue, the colors of the suspension ribbon of the medal. The four smaller stars in gold are in recognition of the attainment of the rank of Admiral. The gold shield is symbolic of knowledge and achievement. Admiral Stump's Navy career, his noted boldness, and his service aboard six air craft carriers are represented by the griffin holding an anchor Perhaps the best way to summarize Admiral Stump's philosophy towards his na val career and the conduct of the proud ship that bears his name is the ship's motto TENACITY: FOUNDATION OF VICTORY
