RN Flags (continued[3]) |
|
|
|
THE WHITE MASTHEAD PENNANT - Flown in all HM Ships and establishments in commission (unless displaced by a senior officer's flag). St. Georges Cross occupies only a portion of the length because this is the "White" pennant as opposed to the "Red" or "Blue" pennant which are now rarelly used. |

PAYING OFF PENNANT - It is customary for a ship entering harbour for the last time to fly this pennant in place of her masthead pennant. It's length depends on the length of the commission but is generally the same as the ships itself. |
