What is the ship’s motto?
12. The Prospective Commanding Officer and ship’s crew develop a motto that is part of the ship’s crest or in some cases a motto may be assigned at ship naming. For LPD 19, the motto “Courage Teamwork Tradition” reflects the courage, teamwork and tradition of the Ancestral Puebloans who lived and built the cliff dwellings in the Mesa Verde National Park – similar to the attributes displayed by the 21st Century Navy/Marine Corps team.
