Default submarine badge

This is the special beret badge worn by submariners in the Chilean Navy. It is officially described as 'an elliptical diadem with national heraldic flowers which surround the silhouette of an O Class submarine 38mm long. The diadem dimensions are, main axis 55mm, minor axis 40mm. Diadem and submarine (which are separate) are in gold colour'. The wreath is surmounted by a naval crown.
