Navy ensign

by Željko Heimer, 08 Jun 2002

The Album 2000 [pay00] says:

Naval Ensign. 2:3

Red flag with green pentagram in the middle and four yellow crowns, one in each corner.

The official plate sent to me by the Moroccan Royal Navy (Album sur les Pavillons et les marques du Royaume du Maroc, sent to me on 1997.01.08 by the Moroccan military Attaché in Paris) gives for the Navy flag four small yellow crowns, one in each corner. That is different from what I have seen in many flag books, but the same is shown on a photo in Cols Bleus review dated 1998.01.31.

I saw on TV footage shot in Morocco (about a Croatian sailing adventurer on sailship Cigra). The sailship had encounter with a Moroccan navy vessel and a flag was zoomed while talking about that that apeared to be from the top of the naval ship. It looked as variation of the “pre-1990” naval ensign — again with very big star, and with much ornamented crown (though yellow only). But, I am not sure that this flag was indeed from the naval ship, as there was no any other photo of the ship — probably was not allowed to be filmed — so possibly the movie editor inserted just any flag he had in the materials.

Previous design

by Željko Heimer, 11 Jun 2002, and Jaume Ollé, 27 Jun 1997

The war ensign included a single crown in canton. However, in early 1990’s a new set of ensigns was introduced, with much more stylized crowns, civil ensign with one crown and war ensign with four.

Smith (both [smi75b] and [smi80]) gives the version with one crown in canton as naval ensign, and civil ensign is supposed to be the same as national flag. The shape of the crown given is more similar to the crown that is on the top of the state arms.
