Swallow-tailed triangular pennant vertically divided in unequal stripes of green-white-red, with yellow five-pointed star(s) in canton. Image shows one-star flag, while note in Album2000 explains that there should be as many stars to match the rank of the CNS.

Corr. 29 of Album 1990 describes three possibilities of the rank:
1 star - in Album unspecified rank, presumably commodore?
2 stars - Rear Admiral
3 stars - Vice Admiral
Is 3-stars maximum for Madagascaran navy?
