Naval ensign (1946-1954)

[Naval ensign 1946-54]by Jorge Candeias & Jaume Ollé

According to the Flag Bulletin [tfb], the ensign contained an anchor charged with a red star fimbriated yellow. In Vexilloteca [vxt], the star appears totally yellow (this is probably an error). The proportion of the flag is 2:3.

Naval ensign and pennant (1954-1958)

[Naval ensign 1954-58]by Jaume Ollé & Jorge Candeias

On 29 May 1954, the naval ensign was modified by Decree #38 and became a blue flag with the national flag in canton. The legal regulations did not establish a shade of blue (the image above uses a shade similar to that used in Vexilloteca [vxt]). The national flag in the canton has proportion 3:4. The overall proportion of the flag is also 3:4.

On 14 August 1958, the naval ensign changed again (by Decree #96).

Jaume Ollé, 15 June 1996

The naval ensign was white with a red stripe along the lower edge (~4:1). On the white the double-headed eagle and the red star edged in gold over his head. I don't know if and how they changed it. Both the civil and naval ensigns have proportion 2:3.

The naval pennant had a proportion of 1:15.
