===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
The arms were designed in 1970 and show a chuchubi (Tropical mockingbird, ''Mimus gilvus''), a typical and very vigilant bird on the island of Curaçao. | |||
Initially in 1949 the base applied for arms showeing a three-mast sailing ship on a sea. This proposal was rejected due to the large similarity with the arms of [[Suriname]], then a Dutch colony. | |||
