About Department of the Navy

A circular, heraldic-style seal: a thick navy-blue outer ring contains gold serif lettering reading DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY (top) and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (bottom), separated by small five-pointed stars. The outer edge is encircled by a braided gold rope.

The inner round field is light sky blue and shows a full-rigged sailing ship in white with flags on its masts above a green coastline and blue waves. In the foreground an American bald eagle with outstretched wings clutches a silver anchor and chain. The composition uses detailed illustrative shading and traditional emblematic arrangement.
