Flag of the Navy (ceremonial and indoor usage)

Album 1995 [pie95] says ratio is ≅5:7 and shows a blue flag with the emblem of the Navy in the middle and thing yellow orle (line near the border). The naval emblem consists of the shield of the national coat of arms infront of the two crossed anchors, at the top the Sun and above all a ribbon with inscription «MARINA DE GUERRA DEL PERU». This flag may be still in use; it is not included in Album 2000 [pay00] as it does not comes into its scope.

It’s depicted in a book about the Peruvian Navy, El Mar de Grau y la Marina de Guerra del Peru [pcy87], of 1987. How likely that it is still in use?

Jack

According to Album 2000 [pay00], 1:1 white flag with red border and the coat of arms in the middle. The border is shown as wide 1/10 of the hoist (cf. 1/6 in Flaggenbuch [neu39]). The height of the emblem is about 1/3 of hoist (cf. Flaggenbuch [neu39] about 1/2).

As of 1939 and 1917

Same as the one on the Album 2000 [pay00] but for the measures of the border, being 1/6 of the hoist, and the height of the emblem, being 1/2 of the hoist.

National Geographic 1917 Flag Number [gmc17] #672 shows the jack as same as Flaggenbuch.

Masthead Pennant

Album 2000 [pay00] says ratio is ≅2:9 and shows a white triangular pennant with wide red border around all edges and in the middle a black horizontally set anchor. This is totally didferent to any other previous source, and therefore probably rather new.

As of 1995

Album 1995 [pie95] shows a ≅1:7 triangular pennant vertically divided in red-white-red with a black horizontal anchor in the middle. This is a “transitional version” between the 1917 and 1939 on one side and 2000 on the other. There is at least small question of validity.

As of 1939 and 1917

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a ≅1:20 triangular pennant vertically divided in red-white-red. The hoist size of the pennant is given as 9, but no other unit is shown. Oddly. Maybe only the hoist size is prescribed and length might be different, but I don’t think that Neubecker means here 9 cm, since otherwise when he gives absolute units he always write "cm" beside the number.

National Geographic 1917 Flag Number [gmc17] says:

669. Commision Pennant.

Same as Flaggenbuch (≅1:20).

Aircraft Markings

Navy Aircraft Marking

The Album 2000 [pay00] says that the Navy Aircraft Marking is the Civil flag on fin). (Identical to the Airforce Aircraft Marking.)

Navy Roundel

Red white red roundel with black anchor overall (but under two central disks), according to the Album 2000 [pay00]. (Based on the Airforce Aircraft roundel.)
