Al Nasser

Post by shipstamps » Tue Sep 30, 2008 9:40 am


To commemorate Navy Day, 1961, a single stamp was issued by the U.A.R. depicting the national flag above a ship's wheel, from the centre of which a warship is emerging. The warship appears to be the former Russian "Skoryi" class destroyer Al Nasser or Al Zaffer, although the artist has been rather free with the delineation of his subject.
