About six photos from the top of the page you will see a crewman hoisting The Navy Jack, and it appears to be maybe the next size up from yours. I'd guess closer to 40 X 60. This photo was taken aboard a 445-foot, 2750 ton Oliver Perry class frigate. Assuming the Navy Jack and the Union Jack are the same size and scaled to the ship accordingly, my guesstimation is that your jack would be appropriate for use aboard ships closer to 300 feet in length. (Probably more than almost anybody would need for the family fishing boat). :-) ================================== Thanks for the info. I've never seen a Union Jack flying on a regular CG or Navy vessel because the only ones I"ve seen have been underway. I watched as a Sea Scout retrieved their Union Jack as they were getting underway, but this was a 90 ft. vessel and had about a 10 " X 20" Jack, so this one being about 4 times that size made me wonder... |
