The symbology of the patch embodies much of Blue Fleet's history. She was the first fleet to be created as an administrative unit in ASR. The "Gold Fleet," although seldom named as such, was considered to be the original fleet. So the Gold and Blue rays symbolize the formation of those two fleets from one another. Since a large contingent of Indigo Fleet came from Blue Fleet when it was formed, the ray to the top is indigo in color. The blue-white star to the left represents Gamma Orionis, aka Bellatrix, the home of Blue Fleet Command Starbase Gamma. The orange star at the bottom represents Herod, the location of the joint Romulan-Federation DS-12 and a wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant. The cluster of three stars at the right represents the three stars of the Gideon Tri-cluster, home of the Blue-Gold Joint Task Force and Point Gideon Station.
