The mark consists of a bald eagle, with wings spread, clutching a horizontally oriented trident in its right talon. In its left talon, the eagle holds the forward section of a weapon barrel. The middle of an anchor intersects the trident at a right angle to form a cross. The eagle's tail feathers appear in the upper right quadrant of the cross, from a viewer's perspective. The back of the weapon barrel rests, from a viewer's perspective, on the upper right-hand side of the cross, and the weapon appears to extend into the page. The weapon is angled such that its handle appears in the below, but in horizontal alignment, with the eagle's right talon.
