<http://www.navy-radio.com/misc/plaque-norfolk-1401.jpg>Oscar the Octopus*
depicts the dynamic environment of a Navy communicator.

  In 1947, at the request of Commander W. A. Swanston, USN, the Fifth Naval
District Communication Officer, Walt Disney's artists conceived the
design.  Oscar was adopted as command emblem for the U.S. Navy
Communication Station Norfolk, upon its establishment on 7 November 1950.

The original 2' by 3' Disney artwork is displayed in NCTAMS LANT's
quarterdeck area, and replicated throughout the world by present and former
Navy communicators.
