Any ideas please?
British Civil Defence, US Navy?

It's navy, and AFAIK, the colours correspond with parts of a ship... they are to do with the damage control parties that sort out fires etc. etc..... they were on here before I think...

Ta - whose navy, are they still current & what's "AFAIK" please?

Not USN. I am a 30 yr Navy vet of the USN and have never seen such a patch. Can't help with the initials, so probably Brit.

Thanks that's still helpful (& I'd just worked out what AFAIK meant, rushed to this thread to show what a smart asp I was - too late).
