Naval Fleet Patches

These patches are worn by sailors to denote their fleet and branch of service.  The Russian Navy patch to the right is a standard navy patch for those sailors not attached to a specific fleet.  

The remaining four patches are worn by men who are members of the fleet named on the patch.  The four fleets are the Baltic, the Northern, the Pacific, and the Black Sea fleet.

This patch was established in 1997.  It is worn by officers and michmen who serve with the General Staff and the Central Department of the Ministry of Defense.

These patches are worn by members of naval squadrons serving within specific fleets.  They are worn on the right sleeve.

This is one of a large number of  patches worn by Naval Infantry units today.  They are usually very colorful and incorporate a number of symbols that highlight their long history.  The top two patches belong to units of the Northern Fleet, while the bottom two patches belong to the Black Sea fleet.  We will try to obtain patches of Naval Infantry units from the Baltic and Pacific Fleets in the future.
