Engineers are silent heroes. They work long hours in the machinery control room to ensure the ship operates in peak condition. The compass rose on the engineers’ badges reflects direction and symbolises the technical leadership at the heart of every engineer.

Submariner's 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 skilfulness, 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.
