SHIELD: The shield contains the azure and gold colors traditionally associated with the Navy, while the cross refers to St. George. The trident symbolizes Naval power and CAPE ST. GEORGE ' S capability to fight above, on, and below the sea. It is surmounted by three Indian arrows which recall the nickname Little Beavers by which DESRON 23 became known. These arrows symbolize the three Japanese ships sunk during the battle. Emblazoned with a torpedo, the weapon employed so effectively by the Little Beavers during the battle, and a Tomohawk cruise missile, the shield reflects the weapons of the past and present. CREST: The gold star, the modern symbol of command at sea, reflects the inspirational leadership and professionalism of the officers who commanded the Little Beavers at Cape St. George. A stylized black demi-array, which recalls the nighttime engagement and represents the capabilities of the AEGIS Weapons System, sewes as the background for a dragon, symbolizes Japan and also recalling St. George. The crossed enlisted cutlass and officers sword signify the strength, readiness, and teamwork necessary to achieve victory, and the professionalism of today ' s Surface Warriors. They are intertwined in a ribbon in the colors of the Presidential Unit Citation awarded to Arleigh Burke ' s Little Beavers. Silver and gold symbolize integrity and excellence. MOTTO: The motto reflects the combat record of DESRON 23 ' s Little Beavers while under the command of Arleigh Burke. With their victory at Cape St. George, the Little Beavers closed this chapter in their history ALWAYS VICTORIOUS and this legacy is being carried forward by the officers and men of the USS CAPE ST. GEORGE.
