D221 Themistoklis Shield: I was on that ship back in 2001 in the Navy Open Week and as I remembered,the shield was the same of that Frigate ThemistoKles with a Standard missile on it,as Formion.If you like,save every shield to your computer to have them all.Also Hellenic Navy Commands have shields.
Hi Odysseus
Look at page one
With the help from Novice I'd manage to be cleared out and I've already drawn Themistoklis badge in both versions. They are identical but the text in top is different. A/T for the destroyer and Φ/Γ for the frigate. Could you please translate what these abbreviations mean in greek and english
Hi KimWerner! In Greek A/T is "ΑΝΤΙΤΟΡΠΙΛΛΙΚΟ,Antitorpilliko",because when those ships first designed,back in the end of the 19th century their purpose was to fight the Torpedoboats of the era.Φ/Γ is "Φρεγάτα",this term is also very old,comes from 19th century.In English you know it,"Frigate" and abbreviation could be F/G,letters are the same.Other abbreviations:
T/B =ΤΟΡΠΙΛΟΒΟΛΛΟ,Torpilobollo,Torpedoboat,Torpedoboot (latter in German)
T/K = ΤΟΡΠΙΛΑΚΑΤΟΣ,in English same as above.In German "Schnellboot".
K/Δ = ΚΑΤΑΔΡΟΜΙΚΟ,in English "Cruiser"
Κ/Φ = ΚΑΝΟΝΙΟΦΟΡΟΣ,In English "Gunboat",
ΠΠΒΚ = ΠΑΡΑΚΤΙΟ ΠΕΡΙΠΟΛΙΚΟ ΚΑΤΕΥΘΥΝΟΜΕΝΩΝ ΒΛΗΜΑΤΩΝ,In English Guided Missile Coastal Patrol Boat.In Greek Navy that term is used from the Esterel Type 32L,which had 4 SS-12 missiles.(I have done this boat,if somebody need it,he can pm me).
Υ/Β =ΥΠΟΒΡΥΧΙΟ,In English of course "Submarine".Note that Greek Submarines before WWII had the numbers Y# and after because of NATO they use S###.
