USS Gallery

USS Gallery (FFG-26), eighteenth ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry class of guided-missile frigates, was named for three brothers: Rear Admiral Daniel V. Gallery (1901–1977), Rear Admiral William O.

The colors green and gold, and the rampant lions have been adapted from a personal device of the Gallery family.

The lions, symbolic of courage and strength, face in different directions indicating that the brothers for whom this ship is named, served in both theaters of operation during World War II.

The crossed swords, adapted from the Officer and Enlisted badges, allude to Naval Combat Operations.

The collared and chained sea-wolf symbolizes the only capture of a U-boat from the German wolf-packs during World War II.
