The six couped pallets represent the six batteries comprising
the 250th Coast Artillery at the time of its organization in
1924 as a Harbor Defense unit. The ship is representative of
the ship of Don Huan Rodriguez Cabrillio, a Portuguese explorer
who discovered San Diego Harbor. The charges on the canton, a
fleur-de-lis within a garland of laurel, are from the coat of
arms of the 250th Coast Artillery and represent the source of
many elements of the parent regiment when it was first organized.
