Saudi ship brass plaque, Badr-class corvette

Featured Replies

Interesting brass ship plaque… I found a lighter on eBay with the same design and “PCG-616” notation for His Majestry’s Ship “Hitteen”.

 

Between 1977 and 1983 Tacoma Boat (Tacoma, WA) built a class of four CODOG powered “PCG” for Saudi Arabia - Badr-class, 245 feet, 1,038 tons, 30 knots.  PCG-616 “Hitteen” was one of them.

Does anyone know why the two crests or emblems are different?

 

This the one for the Saudi Royal Navy:

I replied to your previous post on this plaque here:

 

٦١٦ is arabic for 616.

Very welcome, as far as I know Saudi Arabia use Arabic numerals on their ships so I was not sure why the ship on the buckle had Roman numerals.
