New exclusive Warfare textile design-perfect for Mess shirt backs or branch cummerbunds. This can also be ordered with golden-hued Hippocampi.
.
The mythological Hippocampi (sea-horses) were adopted as symbolic insignia of the Royal Navy's Warfare branch and are seen on the insignia of Principal Warfare Officer-qualified (pewter) and Command-qualified officers (gold). Worn on Command pins for Mess and Ceremonial rig or badges for Rig 24.
.
Interestingly, the ancient Greek legend of the creature is that they were created by Posiedon 'to serve loyally' as powerful beings in command of the seas. Perhaps then it is fitting that they represent the Warfare branch-we hope Posiedon has kept them versed more in C2DRIL than Homer's Odyssey aspirationally.
.
We also currently have Pilot, Weapons Engineering and Observer designs-the repertoire is growing.
