AH Challenge: Under the banner of a Rat's anus

In 1775, the newly created US Navy was in need of a naval jack. It should be something totally different from the British ensign to avoid errors and at the same time a symbol of defiance.

My knowledge of Latin is non-existent, but if the internet translators are right (of course than are...) the banner should read as "Victory from a Rat's ass"

The idea of pulling something off incredibly daring and stupid yet succeeding.
