Without further ado, a "Splash" for ships that are part of the SAM.

Fwiw, the Font is by Nate Piekos, one of his "free" fonts from Blambot.com

Hmmmmm... Maybe a version without the text as well, for a shoulder patch? (I have trouble imagining a Blue Blazer or a Stellvian walking around with "Love and Justice" written on her uniform sleeve, but the crowned-anchor on its own would work well.)

Nice and simple, I like it. The lettering could be optional, but it makes for a good flash/roundel for Sammies in general as well as their ships.

Sweet! I like it. Wanna stick it on the SS Tough Love right next to the Roughrider's roundel.
Another option, as I realized that the crown wasn't QUITE apropos to teh faction... or perhaps these are the Sammies that wear their heart/tulip/rose on their sleeves...

Yes, that looks a little more like it now. (^_^)
I'd argue for a heart myself. at first I thought about maybe having a scales in there, but it would make it way to 'buzy' as it would visually conflict with the flukes and/or crossbrace of the anchor.
That said, I could live with any of the options pointed out here, though I prefer the ones sans text
