About moroccan navy rank flags

At RankInsignia.CZ there are shown moroccan naval rank insignia. These follow the French system (though I have read somewhere these days that the stars are set in vertical line):

  • 2 stars - Rear Admiral
  • 3 stars (in trangle) - Vice Admiral
  • 4 stars (in rhombus) - Admiral d’Escadre
  • 5 stars (as 4 + 1 above) - Admiral
Weather or not there are people holding these ranks is, in a way, irrelevant — there must (must it?) be some regulations concerning the theoretical possibilities for the flags, since there are such (theoretical) ranks. I believe that these flags were adopted in early 1990’s. The stylized crown, as well as the naval aircraft marking (for which different design was used earlier) give hint to that.

As the Moroccan naval rank system has four ranks of higher officers, the upper two would probably be translated both as Captains, so I wander to what Captain this reffers.

Navy emblem

Moroccan naval emblem
by Željko Heimer, 09 Jun 2002

The emblem consists of the pentagram on red disk (invisible when on red background) behind which are crossed two anchors topped with the stylized crown. The crown merges with the rings of the anchors, so that on the first glance look rather different from the stylized crown on the Civil and Naval Ensigns, but it is not. This same emblem is used as aircraft marking on naval aircrafts, but there the star is green.

Naval Group Commander (Captain)

Moroccan capt. rank flag
by Željko Heimer, 10 Jun 2002

The Album 2000 [pay00] shows a 6:11 red swallow-tailed flag with yellow stylized crown in canton. The crown is larger then in the ensigns.

Naval Group Commander (not Captain)

Moroccan non-capt. rank flag
by Željko Heimer, 10 Jun 2002

The Album 2000 [pay00] shows a 6:11~ red triangular pennant with yellow stylized crown in canton. The crown is larger then in the ensigns, but smaller the in the captain’s flag, no doubt to fit nicely in the tirangle. The ratio is given as 6:11~ and in the captain’s flag as 6:11 exactly — I wander if one of the two is not maybe a typo (though I can’t say which one).

This is either for the lower two, or lower three higher officer ranks.
