concerned, or the senior officer present, considers the need to render the flagship less distinguishable. If hauled down, it will be replaced with a commission pennant. Personal flags or command pennants of military officers other than U.S. naval officers eligible for command at sea are not displayed from ships or crafts of the U.S. Navy. An officer of the Navy commanding a ship engaged otherwise than in the service of the United States must not display a personal flag, command pennant, or commission pennant from such ship or in the bow of a boat. BROAD AND BURGEE COMMAND PENNANTS Personal command pennants of an officer of the Navy, not a flag officer, commanding a unit of ships or aircraft are of two types: broad and burgee. A broad command pennant indicates command of 1. A force, flotilla, squadron, or group of ships of any type (PHIBGRU, DESRON), or 2. An aircraft wing. The burgee command pennant indicates command of a division of ships other than aircraft carriers or cruisers, or a major subdivision of an aircraft wing. The broad and burgee command pennants are shown with numerals to indicate the organizational number of the command within a type, when numerals are assigned. When two commanders within a type are entitled to display the same command pennant and have the same organizational number, the senior of the two uses Roman numerals on the pennant. In all other cases, Arabic numerals are used. For more information concerning the use of the broad and burgee command pennants, refer to NTP 13, chapter 9. SIZE OF PERSONAL FLAGS AND COMMAND PENNANTS A vessel under 600 feet in length shall display a size 6 command pennant or a size 7 personnel flag. A vessel 600 feet or greater in length shall display a size 4 command pennant or a size 6 personal flag. DISPLAY OF TWO PERSONAL FLAGS SIMULTANEOUSLY When the personal flag of a civil official is displayed aboard a ship or craft of the Navy, the personal flag or command pennant of the embarked commander must be displayed as follows: Aboard a single-masted ship, at the starboard yardarm Aboard a two-masted ship, at the fore truck Aboard a ship with more than two masts, at the after mast When the personal flag of a civil official and the personal flag or command pennant of an officer of the Navy are displayed at the starboard yardarm, the flag of the civil official shall be displayed outboard. DISPLAY OF A PERSONAL FLAG AND PENNANT WHEN NATIONAL ENSIGN IS AT MASTHEAD The President's flag, if displayed at a masthead where the national ensign is required to be displayed during an official visit or during periods of dress or full-dress ship, must remain at that masthead to port of the United States ensign and to starboard of a foreign national ensign. Except as just mentioned, a personal flag or command pennant must not be displayed at the same masthead with the ensign, but should be displayed as follows: During periods of dressing or full-dressing, if displayed from the fore truck or from the masthead of a single-masted ship, it should be shifted to the starboard yardarm; if displayed from the main truck, the personal flag or command pennant is shifted at the fore truck in lieu of the national ensign at that mast; and if displayed from the after truck of a ship with more than two masts, it remains at the after truck in lieu of the national ensign. During gun salutes in which the ensign is hoisted at the main truck, however, the personal flag or pennant is simply lowered clear of the ensign. During an official visit, the personal flag or command pennant is shifted to the starboard yardarm in a single-masted ship and to the fore truck in a two-masted ship. 10-9
