Summary
[edit]DescriptionDestroyer Squadron 2 (United States Navy) insignia, 2020.png |
English: Insignia of the U.S. Navy Destroyer Squadron 2 (DESRON 2). Official description: "The command insignia is a round heraldic design with a white background. On the white field is the abbreviated title for Destroyer Squadron “DESRON” with the number “2” identifying the specific squadron. Superimposed over the number “2” is the image of a Greyhound which signifies fast and powerful, with sleek lines of a class of ship nicknamed the “Greyhounds of the Sea.” Traditionally, destroyers have become known as the multi-mission, fast- moving ships and “workhorses” of the surface navy; this is a great source of pride for every destroyerman who has ever served aboard a Greyhound. The entire design is encircled by a band of gold with navy blue trim. Dark blue and gold are the colors traditionally associated with the Navy, representing the sea, excellence and honor. The lower portion is formed into a scroll with the inscription in block letters: “Second to None”. Since 1919, Destroyer Squadron 2 has operated in numerous theaters with a continually changing mix of ships and missions. Throughout this period the men, women and ships of the Squadron have earned a distinguished reputation of professionalism and dedication, “Second To None”. “Second To None,” the motto of today’s Norfolk-based “Premier Squadron,” is also an apt description of the record of perhaps the most active and valiant destroyer squadron in the Navy’s history." |
