Blue Ensign
Following the war the members of the NAP established the Little Ship Club to maintain the skills acquired during their service. In 1949 King George VI approved warrants for the award by the Royal Navy of the Blue Ensign (Defaced) to the Little Ship Club, and to Potter's HMAS Nordecia as well as the San Vittoria and Mauranne, for service during the war. This is the only award of the Blue Ensign (Defaced) to an Australian boat club for wartime service. The Blue Ensign (Defaced) included a light blue coloured circle representing the dawn, within which a five pointed star represents the guiding star of their overnight patrols around Port Philip Bay.
