Default Weapons Underwater - post 1950 rate badges

In 1958 the former TAS (Torpedo Anti Submarine) branch split to form two ‘new’ branches – Weapons Underwater (WU) & Sonarman(SN).

All members of the TAS branch that specialized in all forms of underwater weapons were now known as Weaponmen Underwater. (WU).

The rate badge for WU was the old wartime & pre war Leading Torpedoman rate badge, but the torpedoes were updated to modern times.

WU rate badges are illustrated below. The lower gold bullion set is a matched CPO set.
