Dark blue and gold are the colors traditionally associated with the Navy, representing the sea and excellence. The chevron denotes the prow of the ship; the chevronels commemorate the previous two ships named for Admiral Dewey. The tiger, the symbol of fierceness, valor and dangerous when enraged to combat, signifies his bravery as he commanded the Asiatic Squadron to sail to Manila and destroy the Spanish fleet, without a single loss of American life. The palm fronds indicate the Pacific combined with the tiger’s head, symbolizing Admiral Dewey being renowned as the ‘HERO OF MANILA’. The wavy chief represents the Admiral’s authority, when he assisted in the capturing of Manila.

CREST
The trident denotes sea prowess and the modern warfare capabilities of the USS DEWEY.

The stars represent the 18 battlestars earned by the previous ships, for service that stretched the length of World War II to Vietnam.
MOTTO
The colors of the scroll allude to the ribbon of the Dewey Medal, established by Congress to commemorate the Battle of Manila Bay. The inscription “DYNAMIS EX CARDIAS’ denotes that heart and the will to fight drive the warrior, nothing else matters.
