Title: Insignia: USS OGDEN (LPD-5)
Caption: This emblem, seen here as an embroidered patch, was adopted in 1965. It depicts the ship as a center of amphibious activity, represented by the helicopters overhead. The lightning bolt symbolizes her capability to strike swiftly. The flower and bee in the border, taken from the seal of the city of Ogden, Utah, represent the OGDEN's peaceful intentions, matched by her ability to strike hard if provoked. The rifle and anchor symbolize the Navy-Marine Corps amphibious team.
