Talk:Submarine Warfare insignia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I will be adding the Submarine Medical Badge, Sub Supply Corps Badge, and Engineering Duty Officer Pin in the near future. How can I access the "sub message" at the bottom of the screen? When editing the article it comes up as a template {{}} messsage and not a paragraph that can be altered. -User:Husnock 9 Sep 04

Template was acting real screwy. I had to perform minor space changes and character shifts to get it to pick up the new articles. A bug in Wilk to be sure. You'll notice my edits listed as "fixed template". In other news, ALL sub badges now written! Acknowldgement to the Epopt put on the discussion page of Military badges of the United States --Husnock 12 Sep 2004

Should the title reflect that the article is only concerned with submarine insginia in the US navy? Perhaps something like "USN submarine insignia" or Submarine insignia in the US navy?Lisiate 22:33, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

This article is not about "submarine insignia in the US Navy," it is about a very specific award, the Submarine Warfare insignia. Do any other countries have something exactly called the "Submarine Warfare insignia"? Until there is a naming collision, I suggest we stick with the simplest name. ➥the Epopt 23:03, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Could it be mentioned that the 'dolphins' insignia was a tradition started in the Royal Australian Navy that is now commonplace among many navies

It could, if there is evidence to support it. However, use of dophins in naval insignia likely comes from British custom, or likely far before that, so I have my doubts (still, I'm not an expert in Aussie heraldry, so I could well be wrong). Izuko 21:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I have a documentary on DVD that mentions it (it doesn't go into much detail though), i will have a look on the net for some proper evidence once i get my computer fixed (i even have a username here, if i can remember the password lol)

[edit] A bit of fun

I don't know how to properly add to Wikipedia, but...

A discussion pop up on the Yahoogroups DIRSUP group concerning the FLISH. The FLISH is an unofficial USN designator for someone qualified in birds, boats, and skimmers. It comprises a wing, a warship bow, and a dolphin. An entry in the Warfare insignia wiki would be pretty stout!

I would be glad to write it up, provided it was verifiably a designator in actual use somewhere. See Diesel Boats Forever insignia for an article I did on an unofficial but real pin. ➥the Epopt 03:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
