Title: Insignia: USS BOXER (LPH-4)
Caption: This insignia, adopted in 1959, was the result of a design contest held among the ship's crew. It features an eagle holding an olive branch in one claw and a rifle in the other; thus symbolizing the BOXER's readiness for peace or war. The Latin motto, translated as "willing and able," indicates the BOXER's ability to perform any assignment.
