The five wavy bars represent the five training divisions which sustain naval engineering. The ship's lantern symbolizes a naval version of the lamp of knowledge with the rays referring to the outward spread of knowledge, also represented by the book on which is placed the classic naval symbol, the anchor. The School's scope of expertise is highlighted by the symbols on the gold circles: marine systems (propeller), naval architecture (ship's hull forms), combat systems (signal trace), and naval construction (axe and hammer). Motto: Meaning, "To float, to move, to fight". | The five wavy bars represent the five training divisions which sustain naval engineering.
