[edit] Ship's Heraldry
The ship's badge combines a traditional naval Tudor crown surmounting a border of cordage patterned for a capital ship of the line. Within this border is found the distinctive heraldic field described as "Azure, a Bison passant, Or" which is derived from the former Civic Devices of the City of Winnipeg. This badge was carried by the first HMCS WINNIPEG as well, and was first passed as a sealed pattern in 1948.
