The Album 2000 [pay00] shows a
2:3 white flag with red border, the national emblem in the middle and four
yellow Suns one above other along the fly. There is no matching flag in
Album 1995 [pie95]. Possibly the
flag is rather new. There is a flag of the Minister
of Navy and Air Trafic in Flaggenbuch
[neu39], but that is more similar to the
C-in-C Navy, and therefore probably not
“continuous”. The border here is shown about 1/10 of
hoist or maybe even a bit more, while the other similarly patterned flags
shown latter in the series have border around 1/8 of hoist. I don’t
know how significant that is.

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a
2:3 white flag with red border surrounded with white (i.e. a red
orle), and in the middle a blue anchor and four yellow Suns, one in each
corner. This flag is similar to current
CinC-Navy. Neubecker gives constriction details, anchor dimensions
20×30 units, Suns’ diameter is 12 units, distance of Sun center from each
red border 12 units, red border width 6 units, white border 3 units. The
same dimensions apply for subsequent flags of this pattern.
