Title: Insignia: USS IWO JIMA (LPH-2)
Caption: This emblem, in use in 1970, features as its centerpiece a depiction of the world, flanked by the red arrows of war and the olive branch of peace, symbolizing IWO JIMA's ability to strike virtually anywhere on earth. Supporting the globe is the Navy shield with anchor and wings, representative of the ship's dual capability as a surface ship and helicopter carrier. Also shown are representations of IWO JIMA launching her helicopters and of the flag raising on Iwo Jima in 1945.
