Not particularly, St. Brendan is the declared patron of boatmen; mariners; sailors; travelers; navigators;whales; the diocese of Clonfert; and the diocese of Kerry. While perhaps not an official patron of the US Navy, he is in everything but name. There are religious medals struck invoking St. Michael as a protector of Navy men as St. Michael is the patron of officers in battle. You can view such a medal via the link below.

Why does this website incorrectly claim that the u.s.s. santa Barbara ae-28 was named for a city in California. US Navy ammunition ships were named for explosives?

Only 2 Navy AE ships were named for explosives; USS Nitro (AE-23) and USS Pyro (AE-24), both of which were post WWII Suribachi class AE's. WWII AE's were converted merchant ships, typically built on type C-2 hulls. Most other AE's are named for volcanoes, e.g., the Kiluaea class, named for Mt. Kiluaea in Hawaii, is the lead ship of the class the Santa Barbara belongs to. The USS Santa Barbara is no exception, but is named for 3 related reasons: 1. A historically active volcano named Santa Barbara on Terceira Island in the Azores. 2. The City of Santa Barbara is named for Saint Barbara. 3. Saint Barbara (Santa Barbara) is the patron Saint of those who work with cannons and explosives.


Why was the England flag desinged that way?

The cult of St George, the patron saint of soldiers was brought to England by Crusaders returning from Palestine where he was martyred. This flag would have first been used by soldiers to recognise each other in battle. It's hard to specifically say how St George's Cross was chosen:- the symbol itself is probably ancient. In a nation of different tribes and peoples support for the Crusades would have been a rare unifying influence hence it caught on- largely in the absence of anything else. St George is legendary for slaying two Dragons to rescue a maiden. These two Dragons can be seen on London's coat of arms- which also features St George's Cross. A fitting legend for an army which may have feared the Welsh Dragon it later faced.
