Summary
Description Flag of the United States Navy.svg |
English:
The
Flag of the United States Navy
, as defined in
Executive Order 10812
of April 24, 1959. The design is described there as:
The U.S. Navy flag is used for display purposes at ceremonies, parades, and other public functions where the U.S. Navy has an official presence, usually being carried by an honor guard on ceremonial occasions. It is not used for outdoor, fixed (permanent) purposes, and is not flown on Navy ships. Versions without fringe and different dimensions seem to be common, though it appears they are not technically the official U.S. Navy flag, as the executive order has not been amended. Prior to 1959, the Navy Infantry Battalion flag was used to represent the U.S. Navy. For more information, see the Navy's flag history page , SeaFlags , Flags of the World , U.S. Navy document NTP 13(B) [1] , section 1710, and Navy regulation OPNAVINST 10520.1 (which replaced a similar SECNAVINST 10520.2D regulation from 1974). |
