Minister of the Navy

by Jaume Olle, 31 August 2001

Minister of the navy. This flag is very similar in Montells, but anchor (and trident) is black.
Jaume Olle, 31 August 2001

This flag wrongly appears at http://www.uarmy.com.ua/ALMANAH/ALMANAH03/article12/art12.html as "Navy Ensign of Ukraine, adopted 18, July, 1918". The flag which is wrongly described there as "Flag of Navy Minister, 1918". is really the Naval ensign of July 1917 .

Commander in Chief of the Fleet

by Jaume Olle, 31 August 2001

Commander in chief of the flee (Lcuien Philippe say "seulement en temps de guerre" this is only in war times). Montells give a slighty different design and captione it as "command of the fleet" (suppossly in peace times or perhaps Philippe should refer to the war fleet and Montells to the fleet?). Flag at war has St George with dragon and flag at peace has St Michel.
Jaume Olle, 31 August 2001

This flag with some changes appears at http://www.uarmy.com.ua/ALMANAH/ALMANAH03/article12/art12.html as Flag of Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. Flag of Commander-in-Chief of the Navy with Kiev CoA in the centre is doubtful. I know only about flag with two crossed anchors in 3rd quarter. But may be variant with Kiev arms existed too...
