In the background, Black Fort another massive stone work protects the city. hield: The central shield represents AEGIS, the im- penetrable defensive shield ofthe ancient Greek god Zeus. Over this appears the red three-pronged arrows of the Surface Warfare logo, symbolizing the ships three dimensional ain surface, and subsurface anti-threat capa- bilities. The AEGIS elongated octagon covers this symbol. This octogon is familiar to all who view the modern warshipls sophisticated radar array. Centered on the octagon is a dark blue anchor characterizing seapowen strength. and Navy tradition. The fold star over the anchor depicts battle stars earned by the aircraft carrier previ- ously name MONTEREY during WWII.
