The Ship ' s Crest USS CUSHlNG ' s coat of arms symbolizes the spirit and endeavors of William Baxter Gushing, as well as the tradition of destroyers named in honor of this brave naval officer. The indented division of the shield represents a log boom and the pile, which represents the ship ' s prow, crosses the boom suggestive of the manner in which Commander Gushing foiled the Confederate de- fenses to accomplish the sinking of the ABER- MARLE. The upper area of the pile is red. allud- ing to the danger and high risk of this famous action and the fact that Commander Gushing had been under more fire than any other officer in the Navy at that time. The lions head is a symbol of courage and strength and represents the spirit and abilities of Commander Gushing This spirit is also reflected in the ship ' s motto. Non Sibi Sed Patriae. a statement attributed to the ancient Roman Cicero, which translated to Not for Self but for Country The trident is a traditional maritime symbol and its sharp points suggest offensive aaion. The spar torpedo is dark blue, alluding to the dark of night and the covert nature of the sinking of the ABERMARLE. The dark blue also recalls the faa that Commander Gushing a Union officer, took the torpedo, at that time basically a Confederate weapon, and used it to sink an enemy vessel. The five stars refer to the faa that this SPRU ANGE class destroyer is the fifth destroyer type ship to be named GUSHING. TT ,
