I think the history of the Italian jack is pretty cool: it uses the 4 flags of 4 medieval city States: Venice, Genoa, Pisa and Amalfi. These were naval powers in the Mediterranean during the middle ages.
Just wanted to point out that the Naval Jack, as far as I've seen in NATO ships, is usually hoisted at the bow. Just as a curiosity, in Spain it is used in 5 cases: Sundays. Festive days. Days when you fly all the flags (I don't know how to say it in English, but we call it "engalanado"). When a foreign ship is in the same port. When you are in a foreign port. Of course, never used while sailing. Great video, and great work.
Romero Britto they still do kinda have access to The Pacific Ocean and Atlantic but they have to pass Chile and Then pass Uruguay for Pacific and Atlantic
When I saw Bolivia's naval flag, I was laughing hard about how they're salty about losing their coastline which is reflected in their flag design. 😂😂😂😂
It's officially called the "Flag of the maritime claim" and used in all the events related to that claim. So yes, it is the "we're salty about losing our coast" flag. The existence of a Bolivian Navy as a separate branch of the military is out of saltiness too. They didn't even bother to create a navy while they had a coast.
when i was in the navy i had to work with that. the german navy has a special signals-section, wich works with, you guessed it, signal flags among others. really niche and i dont know if other navies have such a dedicated section for this.
Thank you. This channel is not only highly informative, interesting, and enjoyable on its own, but also (for me) is a welcome respite from my usual diet of political commentary.
The Spanish naval ensign is the one that was popularized back in the 1800s when it took over from the so-called San Andrés flag, which at the time was the land army flag, to represent the nation as a whole.
Arf, can't believe you didn't show the maritime jack of the Netherlands ! It's my favourite, to be honest. The design is really unique and uses the three colours of their national flag.

I'm from Argentina and I can tell you that in the 80s the civilian flag changed including the "Sol de Mayo" (the sun), that was used only in wars and stuff like that. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷❤️
So, as a former member of the US Navy, I was about to complain that that was no longer the US Naval Jack, we switched to the "First Naval Jack"in 2002. But before posting my complaint, I double checked to see if there had been any changes. And I'll be damned, there was. We switched back last year!! I haven't been out of the service that long, but long enough to be out of touch. Well, I appreciate you keeping me up to date. Thank you, Sir.
Howdy, shipmate! I had forgotten about the "first naval jack" being deployed during that time (especially since I left active service years before it was authorized).
Mexico 🇲🇽 has a similar case. Its naval flag originally was the classic green, white and red in vertical bars but the flag was always confused with the Italia flag so they changed the orden of colors and turn in diagonal design with a small anchor in the middle next to 3 stars.
Major missing details: There are also civil jacks and commissioning pennants. Correction: The non-rectangular Nordic flags mentioned are types of swallowtail, not pennants. Correction: jacks are flown at the bow (front) of a ship, ensigns are usually flown at the stern (back).
Forgot the “don’t tread on me” jack for the US navy when the war on terror was being officially fought. It was very resent that the navy got back to using the Union Jack.
To give reason for the Jack (at least for british ships), you fly it whilst at anchor. There are numerous reasons, for example, if its flying whilst sailing it could be damaged due to the spray and winds, it shows other vessels that you're stationary or that there is (as you said) a special reason for it being up, with the events usually taking place whilst stationary.
The British Union Flag is only officially the Union Jack when flown from Jack Staff of a ship. We had a Jack Staff from old ship at our University Hall of Residence and therefore the only Union Jack flying.
Probably the most famous if the signal flags is P, known as the Blue Peter (from which a well known kid's program in the UK is named after), several pubs in the UK are named after it and it is the flag that you as a passenger see means you need to get on board quickly!
There is also the first Naval Jack of the US, it's a variant of the Gadsden flag ("Don't tread on me") with red and white horizontal stripes. It was the US Navy jack from 2002-2019.
I am surprised you missed the Australian civil marine ensign - following British tradition it has a RED field with white stars rather than the blue field of the shore flags. Most Commonwealth countries and British colonies follow this pattern for flags at sea. This is derived from the Admiralty division flags - which was where you got Admiral if the Red, White & Blue as position descriptions.
Fun fact: many people in Finland opposed the adoption of the blue Nordic Cross because it looked too similiar to the Helsinki yacth clubs ensign. Arguing it was too casual and Helsinki centric to be a national flag.
Outmost interresting, you could add some developing the matter on every country. T is the originary French Republic flag which started being red white and blue.
The Danish Naval flag (da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dannebrog#/media/Fil:Naval_Ensign_of_Denmark.svg) is in fact slightly different from the state flag (da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dannebrog#/media/Fil:Flag_of_Denmark_(state).svg). The "red" in naval flag is "deep red" (pantone 194C) compared with the red in the state flag (pantone 186C). Also the relative dimensions are slightly different.
belgium has two more dedicated maritime flags, both are variations on the tricolor, there's a state ensign putting the crowned lion in black on the yellow and the yacht flag, having a golden crown on the black in the upper hoist corner
SWEDEN'S FIRST FLAG LAW In our first flag law, from 1663, it was decided that the flag with three tongues could only be used by warships. Private merchant ships had to make do with the cross-cut variant. The three-tongued flag was hoisted ashore at military installations, but also at royal estates and the like. Pretty cool huh :D
Yeah Belgium has a really cool one. Scotland’s one is just the saltire in the canton with a red field. It was used in pre union times, and I think was re adopted after devolution
From what I understand, the Royal Navy fly the White Ensign (flag of England with the Union Jack in the canton) and the British merchant navy fly the red ensign (red flag with the Union Jack in the canton) the Australian naval flag is a variant of the British Royal Navy flag.
Jacks are flown on the bow not the stern! Ensigns are flown on the stern. The USA has two jacks, a wartime one and a peacetime one. The British jack is the same dimensions as the national flag but the Royal Fleet Auxiliary has a square jack, similar to it's ensign.
The US Naval Jack was changed for a while by President Bush from the 50 stars to a version of the Gadsen flag. The jacks are usually displayed at the bow, not the stern, when not under way. The "yachting" ensign with the vertical stripes was not really a yachting ensign. It is the ensign of the US Power Squadron and is flown by vessels, which usually are yachts, engaged in the business of the Power Squadron; it is civil volunteer organization that assists the USCG and USCG Auxiliary in matters of yachting safety. Also, the international signal flags are also used in combination for some simple and common messages. These messages are less common than the one letter codes but they are common enough to warrant 2 letter codes. If memory serves, there are also a few 3 letter codes.
A few corrections: The Jack flag is flown from the bow (front) of the ship not the stern (back). The yachtsmans ensigns can for a great number of countries be flown outside of their territorial waters including the Spanish yacht ensign defaced with a blue crown. The US one supposedly should not. The French yachting ensign you displayed is only for members of the French yachting club, a fee paying club akin to the RYA in the UK. However the French ensign is different to the national flag in that the white and red sections are each wider than the predecessor nearer to the flagstaff so that when it is fluttering in the wind it will still look the right proportions. The Swis ensign is square just like their national flag. And the British ensigns, well where do we start, suffice to say its all to do with class but they have three different basic types which can in turn be defaced to denote a region or a special warrant but you could do a while video on the British ones alone.
The main reason why some naval jacks look like the UK's national flag is because the UK's national flag in of itself was the naval jack, aka, the Union Jack. This set a trend in the 19th century, where other navies wanted to copy a tradition of the most powerful navy at the time, which resulted in most naval jacks looking like the UK's Union Jack.

The Finnish Yacht Ensign is a legal flag of Finland and is NOT restricted to internal waters. It can be flown everywhere as long as the boat is registered and the owner is part of an official Yacht Club and is on board.
Whilst we spoke about different sections of Naval flags, I feel that we were missing an explanation of a certain nations flags. White Ensign, Red Ensign and the Blue Ensign, White ensign is commonly used by Commonwealth nations on Warships, Red Ensign is used on Merchant and Civilian vessels and the Blue Ensign is used on State vessels. The Red and Blue Ensign have both been used for nation and colonial/dominion flags.
The Australian (British and New Zealand - suspect Canada too) actually have 3 Naval Ensigns. National Flag on a white background for Military Naval Vessels, NAtional Flag on a Red background for merchant (and recreational) naval vessels, and National Flag on a Blue background (so for Australia and NZ - just their National Flag) where the skipper and 1st Mate are members of the Royal Naval Reserve (or Royal Naval Reserve of the particular Realm), But I got a sense you were deliberately trying to avoid using British and Commonwealth Flags as your examples.
Imagine there would be maritime flags, flags for airplanes, flags for cars, flags for bikes, flags for bicycles, flags for spaceships, flags for pedestrians, flags for... Good Lord. Of course, great video, as always!
The flag shown in the Number 3 example of what a flag can be is the Bulgarian Naval Ensign from 1990, and yeah, it conforms to the stereotype of an extensive amount of white. It's actually an adaptation of the older naval flag, which featured the same equal tri-colour as the current one, with the Lion at the top. The older naval flag is also something commonly thought of as the real flag of the Tsardom of Bulgaria, even Hearts of Iron 4 fell for it...and they aren't really wrong, but the more accurate one is the one we also currently have....as for why we use the Lion, or the Golden Lion, that is just something we associate with extensively, including in our national songs, so it's there and it will always be.
The Italian Naval Jack represents the four (Italian) medieval Maritime Republics, which all had their own flag: (clockwise, from the up left) Venice, Genoa, Pisa and Amalfi. Also the French flag for yachts is mildly infuriating... looks like it should have a third star. Oh, and I love Luxembourg’s Civil ensign too.

National Flag on a white background for Military Naval Vessels, NAtional Flag on a Red background for merchant (and recreational) naval vessels, and National Flag on a Blue background (so for Australia and NZ - just their National Flag) where the skipper and 1st Mate are members of the Royal Naval Reserve (or Royal Naval Reserve of the particular Realm), But I got a sense you were deliberately trying to avoid using British and Commonwealth Flags as your examples.
IT WAS AN EXCELLENT TOPIC TO LEARN ABOUT!!!!!!!👌👌 THANKS GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 👍👍.... WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A VIDEO ON TIME ZONES OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES??
Luxembourg’s civil ensign is awesome, wow that’s brilliant
Your country has a good naval ensign
Can you make a video of every active us flags
The Philippine war ensign is probably the most unique as it’s basically the national flag flown upside down. (Red at the top blue down)
Imagine there would be maritime flags, flags for airplanes, flags for cars, flags for bikes, flags for bicycles, flags for spaceships, flags for pedestrians, flags for...
Good Lord.
Of course, great video, as always!
I like how the Russian naval flag is just the reverse of the Scottish flag

Thats because these ships are registered in the Bahamas mainly for lower taxes and lower minimum wages.
If you want to know about that you should watch Patriot Act: Real Cost of Cruises
Why do you use only Austrian marches for backround music? I'm totally okay with it, but are you from Austria or do you love them so much?
The flag shown in the Number 3 example of what a flag can be is the Bulgarian Naval Ensign from 1990, and yeah, it conforms to the stereotype of an extensive amount of white. It's actually an adaptation of the older naval flag, which featured the same equal tri-colour as the current one, with the Lion at the top. The older naval flag is also something commonly thought of as the real flag of the Tsardom of Bulgaria, even Hearts of Iron 4 fell for it...and they aren't really wrong, but the more accurate one is the one we also currently have....as for why we use the Lion, or the Golden Lion, that is just something we associate with extensively, including in our national songs, so it's there and it will always be.
in the jacks section I believe it's not Lithuania but guessing Finland (lion trampling a sabre)
The Italian Naval Jack represents the four (Italian) medieval Maritime Republics, which all had their own flag: (clockwise, from the up left) Venice, Genoa, Pisa and Amalfi.
Also the French flag for yachts is mildly infuriating... looks like it should have a third star.
Oh, and I love Luxembourg’s Civil ensign too.
"Argentina civil Ensign" law was repealed in the 1990s. Now there is only one civil/state/government flag.
Que yo sepa la insignia civil se sigue usando o no?
@@ignacioburkhardt789 sólo quedó la bandera con sol.
UK: purely for its history.
