Sir Lancelot Holland Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Admiral by Martin Grieve A straight-forward English flag in the ratio of 2:3Martin Grieve, 12 December 2003 Vice-Admiral by Martin Grieve As per Admiral's flag, but one ball added in upper canton.Martin Grieve, 12 December 2003 Rear-Admiral by Martin Grieve As per Vice-Admiral, but an additional ball inserted in 3rd quarter and centrally placed on white panel..Martin Grieve, 12 December 2003 Commodore by Martin Grieve The rank of Commodore, the status of which had remained murky throughout the 18th Century, was legally established by Regulations of 1806, and formally divided into those of the 1st class (with a Captain under them) and 2nd class (when commanding the ship themselves) in 1826. The previously used Red and Blue Broad Pendants disappeared with the abolition of squadronal colours in 1864 leaving only the White, with a "ball of difference" being introduced for the boat pendants of Second Class Commodores at the same time. From the same cause that affected Admiral's flags, this form with the ball became the only one for use for the second class. In 1958 however, the rank of of First Class Commodore was placed "in abeyance" and the broad Pendant without a ball accordingly dropped. The construction details given here are taken from figures issued by the Ministry of Defence and published in the current edition of BR20.Martin Grieve and Christopher Southworth, 26 December 2003 Admiral of the Fleet 1:2 image by Clay Moss, 16 December 2006 The British Admiral of the Fleet uses the Union Flag flown at the masthead, but the proportions of the flag have been disputed. In BR20, the Ministry of Defence flag book, they are given as 2:3, but the Royal Navy web-site and other sources showed it to be 1:2. It has now been agreed that the flag of an Admiral of the Fleet has always been, and still is, a Union Flag in proportions 1:2. The Ministry of Defence will remove the 2:3 Union Flag from BR20 at the next change. "Admiral's flags" are 2:3, but the flag of an Admiral of the Fleet is not an "admiral's flag", it is the Union Flag.David Prothero, 3 December 2002 A Union Flag at the main masthead is no longer flown only by an Admiral of the Fleet. From Chapter 91 of ‘The Queen’s Regulations for the Royal Navy’: 9106. Flag Officers and Commodores 1. Admirals’ Flags. Admirals of the Fleet, the First Sea Lord, former First Sea Lords and Admirals who are or have been Chief of Defence Staff are to fly the Union Flag at the main when embarked in one of HM Ships or visiting one of HM establishments. The flag of an Admiral or a Commander in Chief is to be flown at the main whilst other Flag Officers are to fly their flags at the fore. Squadron Command Pennant by Ivan Sache Squadron Commander.
