It is customary for naval ships to receive an individually designed coat of arms.
This is also the case for the United States Navy, however due to heraldic traditions in the U.S. these emblems usually take the form of seals.
Below are seals for some US Navy ships. Other ships and units may be added to this list.
Ship Seals
Aircraft Carriers
Description of Coat of Arms:
The seal of USS CARL VINSON shows an eagle, wings spread and talons extended, carrying a banner in its beak. The eagle is emblematic of the nation and the ship's motto, and also represents the power that resides in the ship's aircraft. The eagle flies in the form of a stylized letter "V," the initial of the ship's namesake, Congressman Carl Vinson. The "V" also represents the ships hull when viewed bow-on. Inscribed on the banner the eagle carries is the Latin Phrase "Vis Per Mare" which means "Strength from the Sea."
Supply ships
Here is the Ship's Seal for the USS Bridge.
