HS PANDROSOS A-420

Crest

The crest depicts an Athenian trireme on the top left section of it and a cluster of a propeller, an anchor and a missile on the lower right section. The trireme is historically linked with the Battle of Salamis, not only because the Greek fleet consisted of ships of the specific type, but also because it took place in the sea region close to the Naval Base. The propeller, the anchor and the missile denote the contribution of the Naval Base to the seaworthiness and combat effectiveness of the Hellenic Warships.
