Thanks Just finished the official badge for HMS Lion and the british version for HMS Royalist. To compare I've the NZ version here too. Because I think it is funny that the british version (who was first) has a crown in the motive which I'll guess is a fantasy crown. I couldn't find any british crowns with a french lilly on the top instead of a cross. But the NZ version have a pure british crown

Hi Kim,

Are you sure it’s a French Lilly atop a Crown that you’re looking at, and that it’s not a British Coronet?

For your ease of reference, please see below a picture of the various Coronets used by the British nobility, together with a description.

With kind regards,

Andy.

Baron - A silver-gilt circlet with 6 silver balls set on the rim

Viscount - A silver-gilt circlet with 16 silver balls set on the rim

Earl - A silver-gilt circlet with 8 strawberry leaves alternating with 8 silver balls raised on points

Marquess - A silver-gilt circlet with 4 strawberry leaves alternating with 4 silver balls slightly raised on points

Duke - A gold circlet with 8 strawberry leaves

Yep It's obvious a kings crown but I think it might be troublefull to show a real one without a kind of "king" in the name of the vessel. That's indeed my best guess
Here's the drawing from the Admiralty

The crown on the British version is the French crown as the ship was named in honour of French loyalists of the revolution.

Thank you Bombhead Now the french lilly gives meaning. In fact it's the french kings crown

Bombhead, for future reference, you may want to crop off the toolbar for privacy concerns.

Now I've attached Novice's excellent badge for HMS Hawkins on a template in our rather big series of british badges I couldn't let it go alone, so I took the opportunity to draw the badge for the KGV Class battleship HMS Howe. Here they both are:
