Summary edit

The image is of the ship badge for HMAS Advance, one or several naval vessels of the Royal Australian Navy. The ship badge is a logo used to represent the ship, and applies to all active or previous ships bearing the name. The image was originally located at http://www.navy.gov.au/downloads/badges/shipdecombadges.html, but following a reorganisation of the RAN website in August 2008, the page no longer exists

Fair use rationales edit

As several Australian warships may have used this name and ship badge over history, the image will likely be used in multiple articles. A fair use rationale should be provided for each article.
