DEG5 The insignia of the ship was created with the general form and colors of the PAGE family coat of arms. It was modified to reflect sym- golically the mission assigned and also the illustriousupast of General L. age. The banner held high elevates the name to a place of honor. The hel- met denotes the defensive role of the ship. Yet, the open visor symbol- izes the inherent alertness to the presence of enemy submarine or plane even though unseen by human eye. Below, the smooth bore cannon of the past is depicted relating to Commander Richard L. Page's three tours of duty as Superintendent of Ordnance at Norfolk Navy Yard. lt is vividly contrasted to the PAGE's current offensive might of the symbolic TAR- TAR and ASROC missiles and the mission of offensive operations against submarines. The open book beneath the fesse or broad bar symbolizes the great knowledge required of the men of the new navy and the USS RICHARD L. PAGE. lt further symbolizes the second career of General Page as an educator who served as Superintendent of schools in Norfolk, Virginia. The colors are blue and gold. Traditionally, gold signifies the quality of constancy and blue signifies loyalty of this and future crews. The navy blue symbols reflect the blue of the Seven Seas upon which the USS RICHARD L. PAGE roams.
