naval crown

The crown is an emblem of victory, sovereignty, and empire. It is a visible sign of success, thus the term "crowning achievement," and its significance as the decoration of the ultimate level of rank and power makes bearing the crown a great honour. Crowns are also sometimes symbols of God, as he is considered by some to be the “King of all.” The word crown, blazoned without any additional details, usually implies a ducal coronet without a cap. The naval crown is gold and uniquely ornamented with alternating topsails and sterns of ancient galleys. This was legendarily awarded to the one who first boarded the enemy’s ship and now it is awarded, in arms, to distinguished naval commanders. Some heralds say that the Emperor Claudius invented it as a reward for service at sea.
