    I have packed up the canoe and the badges are on their way. The local Abenaki tribe told me it should take about 10 days.

        Chris, it wasn't uncommon for RN war canoes to have related badges/emblems affixed to the uptakes. (Funnels). Some of the warships on Cod War patrols had some provocative badges to wind up the Icelandic gunboats!! Also some are deployment specific. Penguins if in the South Atlantic and so on!!
        The pic below shows HMS Rothesay, she has her crest on a radar director aft of the bridge. Centre vessel, HMS Bristol, Shows her crest on the 'funnel'. HMS Euryalus on the right has her crest on the bridge above the windows. The funnel is displaying a DTS, (Dartmouth Training Squadron) badge as the ships were all part of the squadron. (F15 was the senior vessel - size doesn't matter in the RN).

            I found it depends if the ship has a particularly talented artist on the books when funnel art is involved.
