Title: Insignia: USS LEARY (DDR-879)
Caption: Embroidered patch of emblem in use about 1962. It is of the same design as the earlier insignia represented by NH 67992-KN, but has had its colors changed for better contrast. The crossed shell and "hedgehog" in the upper left represent LEARY's offensive weapons, while the three aircraft in the upper right symbolize her radar-picket and aircraft control missions.
Description: Courtesy of Captain G.F. Swainson, USN, 1969.
