The Bull Dog vsfas selected due to his well known rugged, tenacious fighting traits and so symbolizes the spirit of the crew of PROCYON. The net held in the mouth of the dog is a cargo net similar to the nets used to transfer provisions to ships steaming along side. The cube of ice upon which the dog is perched represents the refrigerant capabili- ties of the ship. The Oak Leaf is a symbol of the Navy Supply System and here represents the primary mission of PROCYON which is Mobile Supply Support. The stars in the background are arranged in a W formation . . . this formation is called the GREAT W by astronomers and PROCYON happens to be the star located at the point of the W. In the insignia the star called PROCYON has been situated on the Bull Dog's collar. The white hat is symbolic of American Sailors and here it reiterates the vital part which the sailor plays in the overall perform- ance of the ship's mission.
