Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

I would like to request the following information in relation to the trade and branch badges worn within the Royal New Zealand Navy:

- A list of all trade and qualification badges worn by sailors, with images if possible.
- A list of all branch badges worn by officers, with images if possible.
- An explanation of the difference in size and number of stars/crowns between badges of the same trade.

Ngā mihi,
D. Greenhalgh
