The Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve was commonly referred to as the 'Wavy Navy' because its gold stripes were wavy rather than straight (as in the Royal Navy) or crosshatched (as in the Royal Naval Reserve - usually former Merchant Marine officers, or Merchant Navy in British parlance. The wavy stripes are reflected in the design of the RNVRYC burgee, which would be instantly recognizable to anyone who had served in British or Commonwealth naval forces during World War II.
