Mooron stated that the USCG Eagle while in Canaduh was flying a 40X60
foot flag.

I always thought when visiting another country your were suppose to
fly thier
flag as well as yours. And that flag is suppose to be as big as yours.

Nonsense!


And the flags were to be flown at the same height.

More nonsense!



I know while I worked supply boat in the Bay of Campeche Mexico they
made a big issue of it.

True or not?

Not!


And why and when do you dip your flag?


I *should* dip my flag to a vessel flying a senior ensign. However, these
days it isn't done much. The other vessel has to dip her ensign in
acknowledgement - so it just gives them extra work to do.
