The supporters are heraldic sea-horses and denote the white horse of [[Kent]], being harnessed to the service of the sea. Their collars are from the chequered fess in the arms of Pitt, Lord Chatham, which also formed part of the arms of Chatham. To difference the sea-horses from similar supporters, one supports a trident, the other an oar. The head of the trident also features in the badge, where it is enclosed by three mural crowns, representing the three old authorities of Chatham, Rochester and Strood. | The supporters are heraldic sea-horses and denote the white horse of [[Kent]], being harnessed to the service of the sea.
