  Hi Guys, Can anyone help,  What Flags do Royal Navy Boats carry as routine, where are the flown and do they have a standard size, ie what size for an MTB, Destroyer, Battleship etc.  Searched the net and can find all shapes and sizes but no size for each ship.
Thanks

Hi
For flag sizes you could try here http://www.modelflags.com/acatalog/FLAG_SIZE_CALCULATOR.html. But as to exactly what flags are flown I can't really help I'm afraid.

rn ships Fly a white ensign and commissioning pennant at sea - in harbour or at anchor also a union jack on the jack staff (bow)
size of fly is dicated by the type of ship i.e. frigate or destroyer used to fly size 8 ensign and size 6 jack  BUT on sundays
size 10 and size 8 respectively
Cruisers and carriers would fly a bigger size - probably size 10 on a weekday
A size 8 is 6ft by 8ft if I remember correctly.
