Could it be a version of the old NATO Supreme Allied Command Atlantic (ACLANT)?

Agree, but possibly a weapons' school given the size predominance of the torpedoes (although that may be more a matter of the space they had to work with).Oldgateboatdriver said:Pretty sure it's a command badge for some submarine force.
If it is NATO, it would likely be English, with a slight chance it is French (I found that almost everyone worked in English except France, who insisted on speaking French; occasionally some southern Belgians would speak French while the northern Belgians would speak....well, pig-latin or anything but French).Funny enough, the trident's shape is close to the old German WWII U-boat one , but there would be a "U" somewhere in the letters for 'submarine", not a "S" if it was German.
Oh come on, it's a lovely day for a drive. op:I am not driving 40 Km into town to look it up....

Larry Strong said:Thanks to all for the help so far. The trident is what suggested to me "NATO" as shown above they are very similar....
Will have to check that book out Another one for the library.
Much appreciated.

I have had a look in my NATO Insignia book by Peter Wels and the closest I can get to this badge is one for Subclant. The only difference is the gold title where your is A I C and not Subclant.
I would say it is a NATO badge
