Crest

The crest containing the silhouette of the USS Constellation recalls Commodore Thomas Truxtun being assigned to that ship in the early naval history. He was one of the nation's premier sea fighters of his time. 

The stars commemorate the heritage of the five previous ships named Truxtun. 

The AEGIS shield and anchor combined with the USS Constellation highlight the old and new U.S. Navy warships and their long and proud history.
