Blazon

Gules, a Mallard duck proper, upon a base of heraldic water argent and azure.
(Glossary of Heraldic Terms)

Significance

Like the other members of the class, Mallard incorporates the figure of a water fowl into her badge. The members of the duck family are most at home on the water, and their agility in this environment is a suitable characteristic for one of HMC ships to emulate.

Remarks

Mallard was a member of the Bird class of patrol boat. She was commissioned in July 1956, and wore pennant 783 until she was paid off in September 1965.

Colours

White and red

Battle Honours

North Sea, 1941-1943.
