The anchor signifies sea prowess and the rich maritime history of the Coast Guard. The key is for logistic control and the quill, administration. They both represent the mission of CG PCAF to provide direct administrative and logistics support to the crews reporting to the contractor's facility in Pascagoula, MS to accept delivery of the new Deepwater assets. The compass rose represents guidance and management.
