Russian Navy General Staff Patch

8x10cm – embroidered sleeve insignia worn by members of the Главный Штаб Военно-Морского Флота Российской Федерации (ГШ ВМФ). This patch is manufactured in traditional embroidered form with Velcro (hook side) backing, suitable for daily naval or parade uniforms.

The emblem usually features the double anchor and laurel motif or the naval ensign, symbolizing command status and affiliation with the highest echelon of Russia’s naval hierarchy.

This insignia is worn by officers and staff assigned to the central naval command structure, overseeing strategic fleet coordination, operations planning, and inter-branch naval integration.

Historical Background – Russian Navy General Staff:

The General Staff of the Russian Navy is the highest command organ of the fleet, responsible for overall maritime strategy, fleet readiness, modernization, and coordination of naval operations. Its historical roots trace back to the Imperial Russian Admiralty and later to the Soviet Naval Command.

Today, the General Staff oversees all major fleets — Northern, Pacific, Black Sea, and Baltic — as well as submarine forces, naval aviation, and coastal defense units.

Embroidered patches like this are symbols of rank and authority, worn exclusively by personnel serving in command positions within the Navy’s central structure.
