The USS CHANCELLORSVILLE is a US Navy guided missile cruiser of the TICONDEROGA class.
Here is the history of the name and the shield and crest:
The Shield:
The shield’s Dark blue and gold are the traditional Navy colors. The dark blue and gray refer to the colors of the Union and Confederate Armies that were engaged at the Civil War battle of Chancellorsville. The predominate gray refers to General Robert E. Lee’s spectacular military strategies and his dominance in this battle. Lee’s victory came at heavy cost, however, because General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was mortally wounded. The inverted wreath commemorates General Jackson’s death. The embattled division and separation of the Union and Confederate colors represent the country divided. The battlements, which resemble a stone wall, allude to both General Jackson and the fortress- like quality of an AEGIS ship. The border, red for valor and bloodshed, symbolizes the Union’s attempt to keep the country together. The sword stands for combat readiness; its upright position emphasizes vertical launch capabilities of USS CHANCELLORSVILLEe. The bugle horn, adapted from Civil War insignia, echoes the favorite words of General Jackson in calling for soldiers to PRESS ON.
The Crest:
The crest’s trident is symbolic of sea power. The three tines of the trident represent USS CHANCELLORSVILLE’s anti-air, anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare capabilities. The AEGIS shape and Civil War cannon embody new and old weaponry.
I’m going to take a screen shot before the navy is forced to change it.
Like I said, we’ve had a history of naming our navy ships after Confederates. It’s only recently that political correctness has changed that, telling us that the Confederates were merely Nazis in disguise.
