I agree with Ray. It is the ship's insignia.
The official version can be found at the bottom of these images:

There are other variations and versions shown online.
The best photo I can find for this is:

When I enlarged this to the greatest extent possible, all I can really see is a "blue dot inside of a white dot." Both dots are circular. If you make a circular white background, then put the mostly blue, circular, ship's insignia on that, it would be consistent with what can be seen.
Baring any good closeup, pierside images, this is "where it's at."

Hello, I would like to seek assistance in identifying the emblem of USS Bainbridge CGN-25, being placed at the aft of the bridge and approximately behind the first carley float rack, as shown in the photo dated 1986 in the provided link. THANK YOU!
