Description
of Coat of Arms:
The 712 Coat of Arms directly relates to the submarine's namesake city,
Atlanta, Georgia. Just as the mythological bird, the Phoenix, rises
from its own ashes, so did the City of Atlanta after being sacked by
Sherman's troops during their "March to the Sea." The City of Atlanta
rose from the ashes and SSN 712 adopted the term "Resurgens" and the
Phoenix with great pride.
