COAT OF ARMS USS CHANDLER (DDG-996) THE SHIELD ... Dark blue and gold are the colors traditionally associ- ated with the Navy and symbolize the sea and excel- lence. The wavy Chevron, compass rose and pheons symbolize the northward sweep through the Philippines, in which Rear Admiral Theodore Edson CHANDLER participated and which ended, for him, in Lingayen Gulf where he earned, for extraordinary heroism, the Navy Cross, represented by the convex cross patee. The pheons and compass rose also denote the guided mis- sile striking capabilities of a Kidd Class destroyer. MOTTO ... AD MORTEM FIDELIS is the CHANDLER family motto. The translation, FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH, aptly describes Rear Admiral CHANDLERS extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty in giving his life to save his ship. It also summarizes the commit- ment of each CHANDLER sailor to endure the burden of maintaining his freedom and that of his loved ones and countrymen. THE CREST... The rampant demi-lion, a symbol of courage and fighting spirit represents Admiral CHANDLER ' S extraor- dinary heroism. The fountain denotes Lingayen Gulf, the wall and flames the firey bridge of the flagship, LOUISVILLE, from which Admiral CHANDLER contin- ued directing the pre-invasion bombardment support units after the the suicide bomber had crashed the flag bridge. He remained stout-hearted and in- domitable among the flames. MISSION ...
