CREST: The swords symbolize Senator Chafee’s distinguished service in World War II and Korean War, the many decorations he was awarded to his Marine company’s heroic combat achievements, and the readiness of DDG 90 to engage in combat. The laurel wreath, symbol of leadership and vigor, recalls the Senator’s service to his country as a Marine, statesman, three time Governor of Rhode Island (1962-1968), and as a conservationist to preserve the environment. The eagle refers to his role as United States Senator (1976-1999). Scarlet and gold signify respectively courage and merit. | CREST: The swords symbolize Senator Chafee’s distinguished service in World War II and Korean War, the many decorations he was awarded to his Marine company’s heroic combat achievements, and the readiness of DDG 90 to engage in combat.
