SHIELD
Dark blue and gold are the colors traditionally used by the Navy. The black pile suggests the funnel of a tornado and bears a dragon, an awesome mythological beast breathing fire and destruction, symbolizing the ferocity and violence of a tornado. The red billets highlight the confusion and havoc left by the storm.
CREST
The mace, a symbol of authority, underscores USS Tornado's law enforcement mission. The lightning bolts represent the ship's modern electronic capabilities; light blue alludes to coastal waters, PC 14’s area of operations.
SUPPORTERS
The trident, adapted from the Naval Special Warfare insignia, and crossed with a Navy sword, refers to the ship's mission of providing support for Special Warfare forces.
