RN Surface Warfare badge

What is the new badge I see RN officers wearing (in photos)? From a distance it looks like they are all wearing "dolphins", but apparently the skimmers have a badge now.

Hi, I'm another refugee from SN. Joined this site a year or two ago but more or less forgot about it. Now re-joined, and looking forward to some interesting chat and photos.
