The red dragon in the centre of the design is the Squadron badge, worn on the funnels since its adoption in February 1970. The dragon, chosen because of its local significance to Chinese people, seemed an appropriate identifying symbol for our ships combining the dragons mythological mastery of the sea, his strength and aggressive attitude and relative simplicity of design. A stunning bright red colour was chosen solely for effect.Beneath the dragon are shown the countries visited by the Squadron between October 1969 and September 1971.Designed by Commander J.F. Glennie, 6th Mine Counter Measures Squadron Senior Officer. |
