English: Insignia of the U.S. Navy submarine USS Colorado (SSN-788): Official description: "The crest of USS Colorado (SSN-788) is contained within the silhouette of the head of a charging mustang, symbolizing the determined nature of the great state of Colorado. This nature of unbridled determination will carry on in the attitude of the crew of USS Colorado. The fundamental elements of the background are derived from the Colorado state Above the waterline lies the white, snow-covered Rocky Mountains standing tall over the landscape and concealing destructive power within their icy ridges. These mountains represent the mighty and majestic nature of submarines. Upon the reflection in the water rests a submarine, representing USS Colorado, transiting forward, into the unknown. Along the collar of the horse lie seven stars that represent the Battle Stars awarded to the battleship USS Colorado (BB-45) for exemplary service in World War II, and reflect the spirit of excellence present in the crew aboard the new USS Colorado. Finally, the Latin motto, Terra Marique Indomita translates to “untamed by land and sea”. Although only three words and a straightforward translation, the motto actually has three distinct meanings: |
