Any flag, ensign, streamer, or rag flying off a Navy ship means something. Where it is flown means something too. This photo shows the US Navy Jack, flown at the head of the ship (that’s the front, not the toilet) when the ship is not underway and the Captain is aboard, for captains the rank of Captain or lower. If the captain is of flag rank (Admiral level) or more commonly when an Admiral is aboard, the Admiral’s flag (solid blue with large white stars the same number as worn by the Admiral) is flown at the head when not underway. (The Admiral’s flag is flown at the highest point of the vessel when underway – hence the term “flagship”). The USN Jack is the canton (star field) from the National ensign, so the Jack in this photo has 48 stars while later Jacks had 50 (in May 2002, the USN reverted to the Rattlesnake Jack for the duration of the War on Terrorism).
