SHIP'S CREST
The design selected to represent
the USS BREWTON is based almost entirely on the BREWTON family Coat of Arms.
The wolf, representing swiftness and fighting spirit, was incorporated into the
body of the shield from its former position atop the crest. The star, symbolic
of honor and achievement, was in the grasp of the wolf, but has been repositioned
to permit inclusion of the Trident, symbol of Sea Power.
The left side of the shield is red, for
fortitude and the right side is blue for loyalty, fidelity and truth. Silver
chevrons across the field denote peace and nobility.
The motto, "Dedicated, Determined,
Prepared" was considered appropriate not only to the U.S. Navy SEALS with whom he
served but to John C. Brewton himself, and as desirable characteristics of this
U.S. Navy Fast Frigate named in his honor.
