Shipmaster View

The captain's uniform also consists of a navy white peaked cap, with a badge at the front: traditionally this would be the shipping line's house flag or company logo within a golden wreath of oak leaves. In the UK, Italy or in other historical maritime countries however many captains and officers wear the standard Merchant Navy cap badge instead, which is an anchor within a red or blue oval, within a golden wreath of oak or laurel leaves, and topped by a naval crown in Latin corona navalis. On the visor of the captain's cap is one row for each side of golden oak leaves or golden laurel leaves (or "scrambled eggs") along the edge.
