The escutcheon displays the arms of d’Iberville, after whom the ship was named. The other devices represent the role the ship has played as a bridge between Canada’s two official languages in the context of life at sea and in the navy. The red rose stands for the English language and the blue fleur-de-lis, the French language. The battlements of the bridge refer to defence, and the heraldic representation of water suggests a nautical foundation. The French Motto translates as “Together”. | |||
The Blazon was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on January 15, 2009. | |||
