Title: Insignia: USS PERSISTENT (MSO-491)
Caption: This insignia was adopted in 1963. It was chosen from a group of four entries by a poll of the officers and crew of the ship. The figure of the bulldog symbolizes the ship, as bulldogs are noted for being small but persistent. The white sailor's hat points out the seagoing nature of the ship. The MSO's mission is represented by the dog's act of devouring a mine.
