The Ley Orgánica de la Armada de México (DOF 01/14/1985) established the organization and operating of the Mexico Army according the development and necessities the country required, in order to that, the domestic structure of the Navy was modified. Among other adjustments, the Jefatura de Operaciones Navales (Management of Naval Operations) was created, whose functions and rules were defined in the Reglamento Interior de la Secretaría de Marina (DOF 02/11/1986). This position was established as Alto Mando (High command) just under the Secretariat command upon the Under-secretariat, and had under its jurisdiction the General Staff of the Navy and the Chief Clerk of the Navy.
Due the administrative simplification held during the Carlos Salinas de Gortari's government (1988-1994) and continued by Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León (1994-2000), the Navy structure was modified again. On Dec. 24, 1993 was published in the DOF a new Ley Orgánica, by means of which, the Management of Naval Operation and its Chief disappeared, then, the High Command was left as follows: Secretariat of Navy, Under-Secretariat, General Staff, and Clerk of the Navy.

Regarding the emblem of the General Staff - I was not going to belittle the emblem suggesting that it is an abstract representation. However, I am wandering what the "golden" lines in the white disk would mean - if anything.
Do they maybe represent a landscape (say with mountains to the hoist...) also, is there some influence from the pre-Columbian American art visible in the pattern?
The overall look of the emblem in the disk looks remotely similar to the "pictograms" of old Mexican cultures - though I have knowledge of them only from very unreliable sources - like action movies and computer games.
