Signal Flag Vertical spells America

With the 4th of July just around the corner I decided to post this picture of what “America” would spell in Navy Signal Flags. We are proud of the ones in the military that put there life on the line to protect our country. To all that are away on this Independence Day you are not forgotten!

Signal Flag Message Combinations -2 Flag

Although each signal flag has a meaning of it’s own when you use it conjecture with another signal flag it can also take on a whole new message.  As an example the letter “A” means Alpha and the letter “B” means Bravo. When the two are put together it means  “Abandon ship as fast as possible”.

Below I have put together a picture of different flag combinations.

There are many other combination’s and in the future I will show more on this blog.  Because the flags are so colorful they can be seen from a great distance.

Signal Flags on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower

I love to go to the Navy site and look at the photo gallery they have with released photo’s. They have an impressive gallery and it is always interesting. The below picture was taken in 4/26/09:

090426-N-9988F-135 ARABIAN SEA (April 26, 2009) The aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) operates in the Arabian Sea displaying signal flags that read, “IKE, CVN 69, GR8R EACH DAY.” The Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group is underway on a scheduled deployment supporting Operation Enduring Freedom and the on-going rotation of forward-deployed forces to support maritime security operations and operate in international waters across the globe.

I made the following banner to show what Eisenhower would look like in signal flags.
