On October 23, 1957, the emblem of the Navy was approved by
Executive Order 10736 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The
design was created by a board of historians and heraldic
experts. The Navy's ability to both support operations on the
land and in the sea all the while maintaining the reputation of
dominance at sea is symbolized by the use of land, water and sky
in the emblem.
The American bald eagle partially rests on the luce-type anchor amid
peaceful seas and clear skies with a three-mast ship behind displaying the
commission pennant, the National Ensign and the commodore's flag at the top
of the sails. A rope neatly encircles the emblem around the outer rim.
