Weapons Electrical Unit (2004)

The WEU badge was designed by Comdt. Joe Burke.  The symbols represent:-  Ordnance - the crossed cannons,  Electrical - the Lightning Strike, and Communications - the Omega. 

(A quip I heard about the Electrical Symbol goes "You notice that the lightning strike crosses the sea and not into it  - a running joke that Electrical Officers don't like going to sea"!!!!!!!
