Misko3d,what you need is disinagtion.This is what the Navy uses like ac for aircraft,dd for destoryers and so on.....Now in the Navy they use a patch or medal to show what type of job you have or what part of service you are in like a pair of wings with a wrench and so on.The same with flags for each ship or use to be.You might find this under Navial ranks and ensegnias under your serchs.I know my spelling is not the best,Digger.
