Title: Insignia: USS ILLUSIVE (MSO-448)
Caption: This insignia was adopted in 1963. It represents the ship's armament in three ways: the cutting of a mine cable represents minesweeping; the sonar pulses under the hull represent mine hunting; and the gun-like nose of the pilot house figure represents the ship's gun battery. The three signal flags sell out the designation MSO.
