Significance Of The Fanning Insigne The Central figure of the insigne is the shield from the Fanning family coat of arms, chosen to honor Lieutenant Nathaniel Fanning, USN. Per- mission to use the Fanning coat of arms was gen- erously granted by Mrs. Robert H. Lathrop of Old Lyme, Connecticut, the great-great-great-grand- daughter of Lieutenant Fanning and sponsor of FF 1076. The five-point star above the shield is used in heraldry to denote the third in a family line, and signifies that USS FANNING FF 1076 is the third ship to bear the name. The anchors and chains symbolize the Naval Service and serve to permanently link the ship ' s name with her service. The word INDOMITABLE ' ' was chosen be- cause it is considered to be the one word which best describes the distinguished careers and fun- damental attributes of Nathaniel Fanning and the two previous ships that so proudly carried his name.
