custom penants
- Thread starter Captmayhem

My understanding is that all US Navy ships fly the same pennant:
“The commissioning pennant of the United States Navy is "blue at the hoist, bearing seven white stars; the rest of the pennant consists of single longitudinal stripes of red and white.””
Flying this pennant on a private sailboat would amount to a declaration that it is a US ship of war.
If you have found a description of a pennant unique to an individual US Navy ship I would be very interested in the design.

You could commission a pennant with the image of your father's ship on it that has elements of the pennant flown. Surround the red white and blue with a yellow border, for example.
Add a personalized element to represent your father personally. Maybe his rank insignia or fleet flag.
I love your idea.

After more research, I found that “unofficial ship’s flags” were created. You could use the design of a ship’s patch on a light blue field to approximate such a flag. You might be able to find a picture of a specific ship’s flag, but I could not find one for my ship. Most ship’s patches are available on the web.
