>>5705025Halberds are patrician taste, even in the French Navy, where traditions are held in high esteem they still have an halberdier to guard the captain's quarters during a ceremony (or the offices of an important officer if it is on land), generally they give two halberdiers for an admiral and one for a captain. It can always impress visitors. Before the 2nd world war the function was permanent and there was always a guy with a halberd to guard some parts of the ship.
Each unit has it's own halberd with it's symbol on it.
