Default Torpedo Badge
Hi Trevor

I'm afraid a single torpedo badge with a star above has nothing to do with being torpedoed or mined five times. The survivors 'Torpedo Badge' was only ever issued without addition of any kind.

A single torpedo with a star above (and no letters below) is a 'trade badge' worn by the following personnel: -

Seaman Torpedo Man (1904 - 1947)
Chief Petty Officer (T) (1909 - 1947)

Pete
