CREST: The palm fronds represent achievement and victory, during the campaigns in the Pacific. The thirteen stars commemorate the thirteen battle stars on the Asiatic-Pacific Area Service Ribbon earned by the first USS MUSTIN (DD 413) for her contributions to major operations in the Pacific throughout World War II. The dolphins symbolize search and rescue, also alludes to the first Mustin rescue of 337 crewmen of the HORNET, as they abandoned ship after being torpedoed. The Surface Warfare Officer device reflects the sea service of the Mustin Family and the Surface Warfare excellence of the two destroyers. | CREST: The palm fronds represent achievement and victory, during the campaigns in the Pacific.
