Product Description
A round black fabric patch with goldish edging. The central image of the patch is the coat of the city of Omsk with a superimposed stylized image of a nuclear submarine.
Over the coat of arms there is the waving flag of Russian Navy (St. Andrew’s flag).
The inscription on the perimeter of the patch reads “Nuclear Submarine Cruiser”.
On the white curly ribbon at the bottom of the patch is the ship’s name – “Omsk”.
At the core of the sleeve patch lies the coat of arms of the city of Omsk. Since the time of the development of Siberia, Omsk was a fortress city, so at the bottom of the emblem there is a red brick fortress wall. At the top of the coat of arms is the vintage emblem of the Infantry Regiment of Tobolsk Province – a golden rifle pyramid with regimental flags and drums.
