The new Navy warship USS Carl M. Levin features a flag depicting a sea monster splitting a pirate ship in half while a phoenix rising, designed by sailor Hector Mendoza.
A Navy spokesperson told Military.com that the unique flag was designed by Damage Controlman 3rd Class Hector Mendoza. It depicts a sea monster splitting a pirate ship in half while a phoenix rises over the debris.
"When I explain to family and friends my job here in the Navy, sailing the seven seas, I enjoy the heritage and the history [whether it be fact or fiction] that comes along with the job title," Mendoza said to Military.com.
