The colors red, white, and blue represent the United States. The double chevron is to honor DD 191 and DE 529, the former ships named USS Mason . The facing lions, adapted from the Mason family coat of arms, denote the Atlantic and Pacific campaigns of World War II.

The ship's motto is "Proudly We Serve". The motto is in honor of the high achievement of the African-American crew of DE-529 who made history with their selfless bravery in defense of the U.S. in World War II, and marks their contribution to the eventual desegregation of the U.S. Navy.
