Cap badges in the [[Royal Navy]] differ between ranks but have some common features: junior rates ([[Able Seaman]] to [[Leading Seaman]]) do not wear cap badges, wearing the peakless [[sailor's cap]] in number one dress. When wearing a beret, junior ratings will wear a fouled anchor within a gold ring as a beret badge. 

[[Petty Officer]]s wear a silver fouled anchor within a gold circle, with [[St Edward's Crown]] above the ring as their cap badge. That of [[Chief Petty Officer]]s is the same, but with a small laurel wreath around the gold ring. That of [[warrant officers]] (both Class I and Class II) has a larger wreath around the anchor, but omits the ring. 

The laurel wreath around that of commissioned officers is larger still.
