Blazon

Argent, four bars wavy azure, a cougar’s head erased or, langued gules.
(Glossary of Heraldic Terms)

Significance

The significance of this design is that the cougar or mountain lion is shown in the pose which it would take before a fight. The allusion of this badge being that all and sundry had best take care not to enrage lest they suffer the consequences of a bad mauling.

Remarks

Cougar was originally the American yacht Breezin' Thru, commissioned into the RCN in September 1940. She wore pennant Z15 until she was paid off in November 1945.

Colours

Gold and blue
