Caption: This emblem, received in 1970, represents the Navy-Marine Corps amphibious team with its colors: blue, gold, and red. The hand of mailed armor, grasping a lightning bolt and rising from the sea, signifies power, speed, and surprise. The golden eagle and seahorse symbolize PRINCETON's amphibious mission. Her designation as LPH-5 is indicated by the five wave crests.
