4 Z A f,7V5t75N.7y4 The insignia of the USS BRUMBY QDE1044J consists of a coat of arms, supporters motto, and compartment. The coat of arms consists of a shield, parted per pale, dexter blue and sinister white, with a blue border. The two gold bars charged diagonally across the shield symbolizes one of the two naval officers for whom the ship was named, Lieutenant Thomas Mason Brumby. The charge in dexter shief, four Stars superimposed, symbolizes Admiral Frank H. Brumby, the nephew of Lt. Brumby, and the other for whom the ship is named. In sinister base a crescent symbolizes the birthplace of the USS BRUMBY, New Orleans, The Crescent City. The main charge centered and parted per pale, counter colored, is the anchor, which, together with the blue and gold coat of arms, symbolizes the tradition of the United States Navy, the service to which the Admiral and Lt. Brumby devoted their lives. The supporters of the coat of arms are two brumbies, again symbolizing the Admiral and Lt. The brumby is an Australian wild horse and is referred to in a Kipling story, Her Majesty's Servants . The compartment contains the ships name and number. The motto HVENATOR ET VASTATOR , Hunter and Destroyer sig- nifies the mission of the USS BRUMBY and its role as an Anti-Submarine War- fare ship in the Cruiser-Destroyer Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet.
