The following flags are from
Flaggenbuch (1939): corvette captain, frigate captain, rear admiral, vice admiral, and vice admiral as chief of the Naval Service.

These rank flags were abandoned after WWII, and have not been readopted in
1990's apparently. A four star version is currently in use, but it is not
designated to the Fleet Admiral (as it might have been if rank flags are
readopted), but for the Chief of the General Staff (which is not a naval
position anyway). The current naval flags seem to have been given to positions
rather then ranks. But, we have witnessed that the newly adopted jack was soon
changed to the more traditional one (kind of), so it may well be that in the
mean time the odd naval light blue flag might have been abandoned too. This is
however, only my speculation and quite far fetched and one should not take
too much from it - however, my intention is to make us keep our eyes open for
possible news from Romania regarding this.

1:1, by Zeljko Heimer based on Flaggenbuch (1939)
The national tricolour in square form, defaced in the blue stripe with two
five-pointed white stars one above the other and below them two white anchors in
saltire.
The title in German in Flaggenbuch is "Chef des Marineleitung". I don't know
what the better translation would be Chief of Naval Staff, or Chief of Navy as
we have.
I speculate that at least theoretically there might have existed a similar
flag with only one star for a Rear Admiral when holding the position of the
Chief. Could that be verified?
