INFO**

The trident badge shown as the 3rd MCM Squadron  funnel badge illustration was originally the other way up. It was first used pointing 'DOWN' by the 50th MSS (Portland AUWE Trials Squadron). It was introduced in 1960 when Lt Cdr 'Bimbo' Churchill was appointed to the command of the BRONINGTON. He was being re-traded into general service after failing his 'Perisher' as a submariner. He had previously served in HMS/M TRIDENT. This gave the idea for for funnel badge but pointing down to symbolise spearing the mines below the water.
