Two more badges and - funny it's coincidal - again for a carrier and an Arleigh Burke destroyer

They have a number of USN ships badges here, about 3/4th of the way down the index page past all the naval aviation links.

One they do not have though is for the USNS Bob Hope T-AKR 300. Anybody got a decent image of it? I can't seem to find one anywhere, if it even has one.

I'm sure there is a badge (or seal as they call it in USN) for USNS Bob Hope T-AKR 300, but I couldn't neither find it in the net In fact I found it difficult to find badges for USNS vessels. I think it may have something to do with interest (or lack of it!) because it's easy to find badges for USS and USCGS vessels

Probably so. That link I have in my previous post has badges galore for combat ships, and naval auxilleries, but not that many for the USNS type ships.

The Midway CoA is a bit wrong (in several places). The lettering should be block - ie no serifs, there should be just one plane - and it should be black, the "41" should be wider, and with a uniform black border, and there should be no black on the edge of the red on the south-east quadrant.



That should help.

No. The picture you show here is a big painting where some artistic freedom is used by the artist. I didn't expect any questions so I have deleted the original photo. But when I find the time I shall find it again

[Edit] Here it is:

Oh hell, What about this one:

Yeah, there are some different versions - though in nearly same design - around. No one is particurlarly pretty (in my opinion) so I chosed the least ugly

I've coorperated with Clonecommander6454 with this first seal for an Oliver H. Perry frigate and finally it's done

The color of the CoA somehow feel weird to me... Did you work it out from this image:

Anyways, this is way better that the half done product that I have drew
