| There have been six ships in the
US
Navy that have borne the name Preble. Below is a patch from
the
5th U.S. Navy ship named in honor of Commodore Edward Preble. The patch
is
closely patterned after the Preble family coat of arms. Where the
scroll
on the ship's patch has DLG 15, the number of the ship, the coat of arms has the date it was granted to
George
Preble--October 20, 1585. In addition, the name on the scroll had two
b's,
which was the spelling before Abraham moved to
America. The 6th USS Preble (DDG 88) "Intrepid Patriot" was commissioned in 2002. The commissioning poster can be seen below. |
