Oh, that would be "Emblem" or "Badge"
The conning tower emblem was usually a painting of the ship's battle flag emblem. I've never seen the word Mailings used that way. Mailings is not a German word? I think Sinnbild is the German for emblem?

I've a broom at the mast said he, for the broom is a sign for me, that wherever I go, I sweep the mighty sea.
