Naval Warfare
Submariner's
Maritime Patrol Aircraft
The Naval Warfare Badge signifies the professional expertise of a Naval Warfare Officer in the conduct of Maritime Warfare. The crest in the centre of the Badge represents the Republic of Singapore Navy. The swords are a symbol of the Officer Corps. The sea waves depict the naval character of the badge.
The RSN Submariner's Badge is represented by two dolphins flanking the RSN Crest. Dolphins have a universal appeal, symbolising many of the traits highly desired of a submariner. The dolphins represent skillfulness, intelligence, strength, determination, esprit de corps, aggressiveness and fighting spirit. The waves caused by the dolphins leaping out of the surface are a display of strength and power.
The badge reflects the high level of responsibility and specialised nature of the naval personnel in the Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA). The pair of naval aviator wings spreads outwards to represent the boundless areas the unit covers in their missions.
CIC Supervisor
Naval Diver
The crest stands in the centre of the badge represents the Republic of Singapore Navy. The swords are symbols of the Leadership and Combat Rules that the CIC Supervisor performs. The sea waves depict the Naval Character of the badge. The silver colour depicts the Fighting Spirit, Valour and Resilience of the CIC Supervisor.
The Lion and Tiger, which represent the Nation, frame the traditional Diver's hard hat and show that we are the only SAF unit that specialises in Diving. The hard hat represents strength, determination, aggressiveness and fighting spirit of the divers. The waves symbolise the underpinning naval tradition and highlight the relentless spirit of the special breed of men with a "Nothing Stands In Our Way" attitude.
