[QUOTE="LucyLocket, post: 4273992, member: 13859"]Would anyone be able to help me identify which RN ship this crest/motto belongs to? There is just a fragment with the embossed crest/motto and appears to have been torn from a card. I thought the three letters "ham" on the left might give me a clue but having tried all the ships I could find ending with those letters I have drawn a blank (HMS Birmingham, Nottingham etc). The motto is "Fortis in Arduis" & the flag shows that the ship was under overall command of a vice-admiral, I think. Having trawled the Internet I have been unable to come up with anything - I must have looked at just about every ship that ever sailed & have picked up a fair bit of Latin along the way![ATTACH=full]341147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341150[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341151[/ATTACH] Any help or advice would be much appreciated.[/QUOTE]
