===Origin/meaning===
Dark blue and gold are the colors traditionally associated with the Navy.  Red denotes action and valor while the light blue and wavy white arch recall coastal waters and the shoreline.  The strength and fury of a monsoon is represented by the lightning bolt.  The lightning also symbolizes quick response and the electronic capabilities of the USS MONSOON. The storm cloud is expressive of the violent rains that come with a monsoon.  The compass rose, highlighting navigation and the cardinal points of the compass, underscores the mission of the ship: to conduct coastal patrol, to detect illegal activities and to carry out interdiction operations. The trident, adapted from the Naval Special Warfare insignia, is crossed Navy sword and refers to the ship’s mission of providing support for the Special Warfare Forces.
