image by Željko Heimer, 01 Nov 2002

The Album 2000 [pay00] shows a 2:3 white flag with red border, the national emblem in the middle and four yellow Suns one above other along the fly. There is no matching flag in Album 1995 [pie95]. Possibly the flag is rather new. There is a flag of the Minister of Navy and Air Trafic in Flaggenbuch [neu39], but that is more similar to the C-in-C Navy, and therefore probably not “continuous”. The border here is shown about 1/10 of hoist or maybe even a bit more, while the other similarly patterned flags shown latter in the series have border around 1/8 of hoist. I don’t know how significant that is.

Minister of Navy

Minister of Navy and Air Traffic, as of 1939

image by Željko Heimer, 06 Nov 2002

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a 2:3 white flag with red border surrounded with white (i.e. a red orle), and in the middle a blue anchor and four yellow Suns, one in each corner. This flag is similar to current CinC-Navy. Neubecker gives constriction details, anchor dimensions 20×30 units, Suns’ diameter is 12 units, distance of Sun center from each red border 12 units, red border width 6 units, white border 3 units. The same dimensions apply for subsequent flags of this pattern.

“Secretary of Navy”, as of 1917

image by Željko Heimer, 06 Nov 2002

Natn’l Geo.1917 [gmc17] shows as #666 a square version of the (state) ensign — vertical triband of red-white-red with the coat of arms in the middle of the white stripe. «Secretary of Navy» is the US equivalent title given to all nations in the tables of [gmc17]; Minister of Navy or something similar is more probable (maybe even Minister of Navy and Air Trafic as in Flaggenbuch [neu39] some 20 years latter).

Chairman of the Joint Armed Forces Staff

image by Željko Heimer, 02 Nov 2002

The Album 2000 [pay00] shows a 2:3 white flag with red border and in the middle the emblem of the Armed Forces and four yellow Suns one in each corner. The emblem consists of the shield of the national arms (i.e. no wreaths) superimposed on golden upright sword, wings and two anchors. The border here is pictured about 1/8 of hoist, as is for all subsequent flags of this pattern. This must be relatively recent office, and therefore the flag too.

Commander of the Admiral-staff of the Navy, as of 1939

image by Željko Heimer, 06 Nov 2002

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a 2:3 white flag with red border surrounded with white (i.e. a red orle), and in the middle a blue anchor and two yellow Suns, on top and bottom hoist corners. This rank probably matches today the position of the Chief of Naval Staff, but in the mean time he got an aditional Sun…

Prefect of a Department

image by Željko Heimer, 06 Nov 2002

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a 2:3 white flag with red orle as above with three Suns set horizontally in along the middle. The distance between the sun’s centers is 21 units. I wander if Prefect of a Department is military or civilian position? If it is civilian, may be this flag or something similar is still used, but defined in some other soruces currently not available to us. (Just guessing.)
