Origin/meaning

In Greek Mythology Dryads was Tree-Nymphs who lived in Oaks. The Dividers symbolises the Royal Navy Navigation School, Southwick which was commissioned as HMS Dryad in 1906. The New Badge allude to the Navigation School expanded to the School of Maritime Operations. The Latin Motto translates as "You will go safely with us". The first Badge was approved in 1924 and the later in 1950.
