At random: Insignia of the Navy's submarine service is a submarine flanked by two dolphins. Dolphins, or porpoises, the traditional attendants to Poseidon, Greek God of the Sea and patron deity of sailors, are symbolic of a calm sea, and are sometimes called the 'sailors' friend. In addition to the Dolphins, those World War II submariners who participated in successful combat patrols may wear the coveted Submarine Combat Insignia.

Eileen called me to look at a guy on the news who had a PO2 chevron on his jacket.

The symbol was a scroll of paper and a quill pen; Journalist I told her.

Why do I remember that since we did not have them on boats.
