I'm confused. Did these guys arrive with the fleet? They're described as American, and I don't doubt that there were at least a few neo-nazis in the fleet by the time of their arrival.

Yes, they did arrive with the fleet! These are some of the Defectors.

Clearly they didn't get shoved into enough lockers before joining the navy

Is the cross of St George an addition on their part reflecting its more recent racially chauvinist connotations, or is there a version of the papal insignia including that cross?

The version on Wikipedia has the keys, and the tiara, and something that could look like that cross if you squint, but appears to be red cord interlacing the rings.

Hi! Reading the descriptions of the Americans in this, it sounds like they're wearing KKK garb. The Pope might recognize these, actually! The Spanish wear something similar (although culturally completely different, not based in hate) for Semana Santa, during Easter!

That's actually a clever point! hadn't thought of it. Though they aren't quite in full klan garb, they're in SS dress uniforms with a klan-like veils attached to the caps so a real fucked up mishmash
