Navy Nylon Flag 12"x18"

Our nylon 12"x18" Navy flags are constructed of tough, long-lasting SolarMax® nylon which offers the best resistance to damaging ultraviolet radiation allowing the flags color to last longer than traditional nylon flags.  Our outdoor Navy flags feature fray resistant stitching (4-stitch fly ends) that create durable seams that resist fraying better. Lightweight nylon material dries quickly and flies beautifully in even the slightest breeze. Our U.S. Navy flags are finished with a heavy-weight canvas header and solid brass grommets.

More information on the U.S. Navy flag

The U.S. Navy Flag consists of a dark blue base with the Navy seal in the center. The words United States Navy are written in dark blue on a yellow scroll below the seal. The Navy’s official colors are blue and gold and the indoor version of the flag has a gold border around the outer edge.

The U.S. Navy flag doesn’t fly from ships as the national flag and other signal flags are flown instead. The flag is basically used as a ceremonial symbol and is only carried by honor guards in parades and other ceremonies. The U.S. Navy still uses the international nautical flags, even in this technological age of radio and satellites. The flag is always displayed with a set of streamers commemorating the battles, campaigns and service of the Navy, since 1775.

There are currently 28 authorized streamers, plus three to recognize awards of the Presidential Unit Citation, the Navy Unit Commendation and the Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation.
