The flaming sword also represents the revolutionary capability of the Vertical Launching System first introduced in BUNKER HILL.

Blue and gold are the colors traditionally associated with the Navy and are symbolic of the sea and excellence. The two white bars in chief represent American courage and purpose as displayed at the Battle of Bunker Hill on 1 7 June 1 775. The red bars symbolize the British assaults on the colonists ' entrenchment and the curve below alludes to the hill which the British took at great cost. Bunker Hill proved to be rallying point for the Americans, for after that the British Empire faced full scale war. + C: ie entrenched colonists were formi- dable opponents. The entrenchments or redoubts they dug and built are symbol- ized by the scarlet hill shape with battle- ments. The muskets with bayonets recall the weapons of that battle and the powder horn refers to the New Englanders ' stand behind the entrenchments until their ammunition was used up.
