Title: Insignia: USS ALAMEDA COUNTY (AVB-1)
Caption: This insignia was adopted in 1960. It features Sylvester P. Pussycat wearing devices representing the three categories of naval personnel which make up the crew of an AVB: aviation, line and Seabees. This ship's mission is represented by the runway, which emanates from two doors, symbolizing the bow doors of the ship. The colors on the doors are those of Italy where the ALAMEDA COUNTY is home ported. The runway markings represent the year (1957) in which this ship was designed AVB-1.
