US Navy Flag

The U.S. Navy traces its roots back to Revolutionary War when the Continental Congress elected to arm two ships with carriage and swivel guns in order to stop the transport of supplies to the British Army. Since then the U.S. Navy has grown to become the largest navel force in the world, surpassing the next 13 navies in fleet size.

Through the years, many flags have flown above U.S Navy ships. Bearing everything from anchors to rattlesnakes, these banners where the precursors to today’s official US Navy flag.

For over 60 years, starting at the end of the 19th century, the Infantry Battalion flag, served as the naval flag. This banner, consisting of a blue background with a white diamond and blue anchor and rope in the center, became one of the most iconic, yet unofficial, military flags.

In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized the creation of a new, official U.S. Navy Flag. Presented to the public for the first time on April 30, 1959, this flag remains a proud and important part of the U.S. Navy tradition.

With a design similar to that of the other military flags, the naval banner features a dark blue background often trimmed in gold fringe. In the center of the flag resides the official seal of the U.S. Department of the Navy. The circular seal features a square-rig ship with three masts sailing amid clear skies and calm seas. In front on the ship is a bald eagle resting on an anchor. The seal is ringed in gold rope with a gold banner bearing the words, “United States Navy” below.

While many of the past versions of the US Navy flag were utilitarian and designed fly from ship masts or gaffs, today’s flag is more ceremonial in nature. Rather than identifying naval ships, it is used for parades, public gatherings and as part of indoor flag sets. Choosing a made in USA flag for display on flag poles or in memorial flag cases in an excellent way to honor friends and family members in the armed forces or to bring back fond memories of serving at sea.
