'Ad Rem Classem Paratus' is the motto for the Naval Station Norfolk. Naval Station Norfolk is the United States' largest naval installation. It is home for most of the aircraft carriers, attack submarines, destroyers, and cruisers.
In addition, it is also the base for NAS (Naval Air Station) Norfolk as well as many schools.

Examining Latin closely we find that Classem also means 'Fleet'. 'Paratus' means 'ready' or 'prepare'. Therefore, in this case, 'Ad rem classem paratus' is meant to mean, 'To prepare the fleet'.
