In the centre is shown a warship under sail wearing French flags, inscribed on a ribbon above 'ROYAL NAVY' and below 'MESS NO 13, the whole surrounded by roses, thistles and shamrocks, naval trophies below. The plate has a border of geometric designs, laurels and chain cable with four vignettes of shipping.
