DescriptionThe badge is circle-shaped, and depicts an elaborately wrought horseshoe with two halberds darted across it, mounted on a rope tied together, forming a circle. The border of the badge is elevated, mimicking a stranded rope. On its uppermost part, we find the vessel's name in a rectangular box, topped with a naval crown.
