Dark blue and gold are the colors traditionally associated with the Navy, representing the sea and excellence. The Choctaw Nation's emblem, in the center, commemorates the hardworking men and women of rural communities and the rich Native American heritage. The tri-parted portion of the shield represents the flag colors of the three counties in the United States named Choctaw: red denotes the canton of the Mississippi state flag; light blue indicates the Oklahoma flag; and yellow depicts the Alabama State flag. The chief signifies authority, the trident implies marine power, and the lightning bolts symbolize speed. These elements convey the JHSV-2's rapid transport, operating at a speed four times greater than current ships, and her dominance of the sea.
CREST
The ship's wheel symbolizes navigation. The bare arm represents the industrious civilian crew of the USNS CHOCTAW COUNTY. The olive branch represents peace. The arrow signifies military preparedness for any naval wartime operation.
SUPPORTERS
The swords symbolize cooperation and teamwork and the JHSV's capability to transport both U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps personnel and their military vehicles.
