The Christian, Jewish or Muslim flag pendants are the only ones authorized by the US Flag Code to be flown above the "Colors" and only on Navy ships when church services are being conducted on board. I was reading that this part of the code has been challenged by those obsessed with separation of church and state but it takes a hell of a lot to change Navy tradition. I remember it being flown on Sunday mornings while at sea. Only time anything flow above the ensign. We never had a chaplain on the CG cutters I was on so I suppose I never saw that. I don't remember and services either. I do know we flew bravo when we were shooting but I didn't really pay any attention to where it was. That was for the deck apes to deal with ;-) I did think it was funny that we had this little red flag and we might be lobbing 5" shells out 10,000-12.000 yards. You would need real good optics to see it where the 50 cal was landing. === Code flags, like Bravo, are generally flown from the starboard spreader (yardarm), at least on yachts. --- That is probably right but I never looked up. ;-) |
