Submarine Mascots
Test subtitle
Submariners often carried personal mascots onboard, including ones that they had made themselves. Submariners are known for their superstitious nature and mascots were seen as an important means of maintaining one's luck whilst beneath the seas. In addition, submarine crews often came up with designs for 'unofficial' ship's badges to decorate the boat's interior, often using a humorous take on the boat's name.
