Sea Power, as an essential element of national power is symbolized by the silhouette of USS WORDEN in the center projecting her dual mission of antiair and anti- submarine warfare. The silhouette of MONITOR symbolizes a historic event in the life of Rear Admiral john L. Worden, for whom the ship in named. Admiral Worden was the Commanding Officer of the MONITOR during its famed engagement with CSS VIRGINIA tex-USS MERRIMACI in Hampton Roads, Vir- ginia. The four stylized stars indicate that DLG-18 is the fourth ship so named. The colors of blue and gold, in addition to the associations they connote for naval personnel, have a cogent meaning to the students of hearldy. Gold . . . betokens wis- dom, justice, riches, and elevation of mind, when joined with azure Ithey representl a disposition to keep what one gets. The ship's motto. Id fiat WORDEN si , translates freely as Let WORDEN do it and is indicative of the spirit in which WORDEN undertakes all tasks. 1
