Vice Admiral Morton L. Deyo USS DEYO (DD-989) is named in honor of Vice Admiral Morton L. Deyo, U.S. Navy (1877-1973), a veteran destroyerman and distinguished naval gunfire support task force commander of World War II. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he served with distinction in both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. He commanded the destroyer which provided the first American escort assistance to allied convoys to England just prior to Pearl Harbor. He later proved himself a master of naval gunfire support at Utah Beach in the Normandy invasion as well as during the invasion of southern France. Admiral Deyo ' s crowning achievement in the Pacific was command of gunfire and covering force for-the assault and occupational forces in Northern Japan. His awards include-the Distinguished Service Medal and the Legion of Merit with Gold Star. Coat of Arms The divisions, colors and elements of the shield repre- sent Vice Admiral Morton Lyndholm Deyo through his place of birth and naval career. The wavy bars simulate water and refer to the Indian name, The reed covered lodge by the little water place, for Poughkeepsie, New York, where he was born on 1 July 1887. Red, white and blue, our na- tional colors, are also a common denominator, for it was in Pough- keepsie in July 1788 that the Constitution of the United States was ratified by the State of New York. The three stars and the colors blue and gold represent his Navy tenure and the highest rank he achieved. The stars also denote three decorations awarded to Admiral Deyo: The Distinguished Service Medal (Navy), and the Legion of Merit with Gold Star. The arrowheads refer to his destroyer service during World War I and his support of assault landings in Europe and Asia during World War II. The arrowheads further allude to the awesome striking power and sophisticated weaponry of modern destroyers. The trident is emblematic of mastery of the seas, and with the globe, refers to Admiral Deyo ' s experience in Naval strategy in peace and in time of war. The fiery U commemorates Admiral Deyo ' s command of destroyers of the Gunfire Support Group of Assault Force U during the amphibious invasion of the enemy- held coast in northern and southern France. Brave and Proud is the tradition of the name Deyo. It is the standard which has been set by Vice Admiral Morton L. Deyo as well as a call to those who serve on USS DEYO to meet or exceed those standards.
