Submarine Torpedoman's Mate (TM) Dolphins

After years of requests, it’s finally here—the Torpedoman’s Mate breast badge! So what exactly is a Torpedoman’s Mate (TM)? On a submarine, TMs are responsible for everything that goes boom—handling the storage, maintenance, loading, and launching of all onboard weapons. That includes torpedoes, Tomahawk missiles, countermeasures, and the complex systems that deliver them.

Culturally, TMs are known as gritty, no-nonsense sailors with a dark sense of humor—cut from the same cloth as their A-Ganger cousins. There's serious pride in being part of the bang-bang side of the submarine world.

The badge is regulation size (though never officially authorized), approximately 3" x 1.5", made of pewter, and secured with two butterfly clutch pins.
