RMN-2412-01 24DEC-22

After the Royal Navy League managed to rescue Unconquered from scrapping following reserve duty, it was determined that given the ship's illustrious history, it would be considered a high honor to be assigned as a member of her crew. Crew membership did not require the honoree to physically crew the vessel; it was merely an additional billet that entitled them to wear the HMS UNCONQUERED tab placed above the honoree's actual assignment shoulder insignia.

The Commanding Officer of Unconquered was traditionally a senior active duty RMN flag officer, chosen by the Crown from a list of nominations the Navy's serving officers voted on. The CO of Unconquered was the only RMN flag officer allowed to wear the white beret of a hyper-capable ship's CO.
