Medallions symbolize the Stilling of the Storm (Saint Mark 4:37-39) with the raging tempest (left) and calm (right).

Around the medallions are the words:

"Fear not for I am with thee,
Be not dismayed for I am thy God" and
"I will uphold thee with the right hand
of my righteousness." (Isaiah 41:10)

The text of the window lettering near the base is from the Hymn of William Whiting:
"Eternal Father! Strong to save, Whose Arm hath bound the restless wave,  [01]
O hear us when we cry to Thee, for those in peril on the sea."  [02]

Archangels are Saint Michael, Captain of the Hosts of Heaven, and Saint Raphael, Guardian.

Key colors: Red for love, White for faith, Blue, loyalty; Gold, the good life: Green for hope and Violet, distress.

Small figures of boys and girls with censers are symbols of prayer, and dolphins in orange and red with white flames between them emphasize love and faith.

Brother Sun in warm colors, bearing the symbol of the radiant sun, is surrounded by the text from Saint Francis, "Beautiful and radiant with great splendor …. like unto Thee."

Below are the first two Disciples. Peter bears his traditional keys, and the text reads: "As unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn." (II Peter 1:19)

The radiant spirit of Day, at the right, bears the globe with the bright half uppermost. The surrounding text is: "This day is a day of Good Tidings." (II Kings 7:9) The balancing figure of Night holds the globe with the darkened half uppermost in a starry field of blue, accompanied by the text: "Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness." (Psalm 112:4) The fields of these panels are colored to suggest sunrise in the warm upper tones of Day, and sunset in the lower areas of Night.

Below are the figures of St. James Major, with pilgrim’s staff and gourd, and the text: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of Lights." (James 1:7), and St. John with the pen and open book of the Evangelist. The text is: "The light shineth in darkness and darkness comprehended it not." (John 1:5) Cooler tones of dusk set off the Dolphin in the panel symbolizing Night.

In the border at the top of Day is the eight pointed star, symbol of Regeneration; while the companion panel carries the Christian Cross and the Hebrew Star of David and Tablets of the Law in the corner panels. Twenty-five signal flags spell out, reading clockwise from the lower left of Day and around, "In His light shall we see light."

In the lower halves are the figures of St. Phillip with his basket of bread and fish, and the text: "So is the great and wide sea wherein are living things innumerable," (Psalm 104:25); and St. Bartholomew, with his symbol, the book and knife, and the text: "As a strong bird on pinions free, Joyous, the amplest spaces heavenward cleaving, Such be the thought I’d think of thee, America." (Walt Whitman)

A Submarine Rescue Vessel (ASR) is at the base of the panel devoted to sea birds, and thus fitting tribute is given to so valuable a part of the Submarine Force.

At the top center appear the Greek acrostic IXOYC (Ichthus or "fish"), a symbol both of our Lord and an identifying symbol between the early Christians during periods of persecution; and the "Pelican in Her Piety," a symbol of the Atonement. The surrounding borders contain representative fish and sea birds.
