SIGNIFICANCE OF LOCKWOOD INSIGNE A ship ' s insigne is designed to be visually representative of the intangibles which guide the ship ' s mission. The eagle was chosen as a symbol of the strength and fidelity of the United States of America. Held fast by its talons is the helm of LOCKWOOD, a helm which will control the direction of the ship and the men who serve on her through the coming years. Framed by the helm is LOCKWOOD herself, seen as she plys the oceans as an ambassador and defender of the United States. The parts of the insigne are held together by a chain as a symbol of the unity of the Navy. Each link symbolizes a member of the crew as he contributes to this unity. A very important part of the insigne is the heritage from the ship ' s namesake. VADM LOCKWOOD contributes his name and the three stars of his rank. The LOCKWOOD family motto-TUTUS IN UNDIS- is appropriate to the ship LOCKWOOD. It is given in the English version-SECURE AGAINST THE WAVES.

The principal arma- ment is the antisubmarine homing torpedo, which can be delivered to a point miles distant by the Antisubmarine Rocket (ASROC) or launched from conventional torpedo tubes on the ship. The 5-inch 54 caliber gun mounted forward provides antiaircraft defense. It is also effective for shore bombardment in support of forces several miles inland and against surface targets. The Basic Point Defense Surface Missile System (BPDMS) is mounted on the fan tail. It pro- vides an effective missile defense for the ship against incoming aircraft and missiles. Also mounted on the after end of the ship is the Independent Variable Depth Sonar (IVI)S), which acts as a complement to the bow mounted Sonar.
