Editing USS Ronald Reagan (section)

===Ship's seal===
The ''Ronald Reagan''{{'}}s seal was designed entirely by her [[plankowner]] crew with historical assistance from staff members at the [[Ronald Reagan Presidential Library]]. The seal's red border is similar to the distinctive red rim on the [[White House china]] designed for the Reagans during their White House years. Four gold stars represent Reagan as 40th US President and his four pillars of freedom: individual liberty, economic opportunity, global democracy, and national pride. "Peace through Strength" was a recurring theme of Reagan's life in public service. The aircraft carrier is positioned [[West Coast of the United States|on the West Coast]], representing Reagan's two terms as [[governor of California]] and the ship's Pacific Fleet homeport. The three aircraft's patriotic contrails symbolize the three major military operations during Reagan's presidency: [[Operation Urgent Fury]] (Grenada/1983), [[Operation El Dorado Canyon]] (Libya/1986), and [[Operation Praying Mantis]] (Iran/1988). The view of the globe signifies Reagan's vision of global democracy, and the center is the United States, representing the country's national pride. Red, white, and blue dominate the seal, reflecting the American flag.
