Fair Use[edit]

This image has been uploaded to illustrate the article on HMS Somerset, the Royal Navy ship to which it belongs.

The image may be subject to copyright, but is believed to be usable under fair use in HMS Somerset because: The badge is not defaced, misrepresented or used in a misleading manner; and the image is used solely for the purposes of identifying the related vessel, or illustrating that vessel's badge directly. A 'free' replacement would be difficult to obtain given the related vessels status.
