USS North Dakota -- coat of arms

[The Sicatoka]

The USS North Dakota now has a coat of arms.

If this stays talking about this coat of arms I'll leave this thread open.

If it turns to possible new UND monikers I'll close it. Keep the moniker talk in the "New Moniker" thread. Thanks.

Wow.

The symbology was updated quickly: Wikipedia on USS North Dakota

Can the NCAA make the navy take the tomahawks off the coat of arms?

Awesome article though and a well-thought out coat of arms.

Wrapping across the crest is a banner with two Native American tomahawks, representing the state’s Native American Indian heritage and Tomahawk Cruise Missiles, one of the weapons capabilities the USS NORTH DAKOTA can employ.

I can see the NCAA having problems with the Tomahawks.

NCAA != US NAVY

I'll side with the Navy. Why? They have tomahawks.

[zonadub]

yes they do!

That is a really cool coat of arms. You can tell some thought was put into the design.
