Hi, I wonder if some one can comment on the badge I have uploaded which shows a 'Winged Bulldog' as opposed to the 'Shark' badge shown in this article? Why are they different?

The image comes from my late father's records. He served on HMS Biter between 14/2/1943 - 11/6/1944 as Navel Airman 1st class George Thomas Jones. Just interested to know if the badge was changed from a bulldog to a shark or visa verser? Or perhaps there is another explanation. Thank you

My father served in the Royal Navy during WW11 1949 - 1945 able seaman William Kenneth Walmesley (Bill) My father served on HMS Biter and another boat not sure of the name. Most of the time he was in the north Atlantic convoy patrol and worked on the catapult and arrester wires if I'm not mistaken. Any information would be appreciated regarding my father's time in the Royal Navy He also spent time in New York waiting of ship readiness.

My grandfather, CPO Owen Ward served on this vessel and it's so interesting to find out what happened whilst he was aboard. Thank you.
