Unlike the national ensign, commission pennant, union jack, and admiral's broad pennant which fly from gaff, mast, or staff on board naval vessels, the flag of the United States Navy is reserved for display purposes and is carried by an honor guard on ceremonial occasions.

The present Vietnamese flag was created in 1939 by a teacher working for the Vietnam communist party. It has a very simple design but hides a great meaning. The flag has two main colors with red stands for blood and yellow stands for the color of Vietnamese people’s skin. The yellow star in the middle with five focal points stands for five types of people at that time including intellectuals, farmers, workers, business people, and soldiers.

Vietnamese festival flag has five colors and is often referred to as “co ngu sac” (five-colored flag). We often see the festival flags of various colors and shapes on the occasion of traditional festivals in Vietnam. This kind of flag is also used in festivals related to legends, antiquities and Vietnamese history as flags of Hung Vuong, Hai Ba Trung, King Quang Trung, etc. There are two kinds of Vietnamese flags in festivals: the square flag and the arrow-shaped flag (looks like a triangle).

The Department of the Navy Seal, created in 1957, was to serve as the main feature of the official United States Navy flag, adopted two years later. The flag did not pass through an evolutionary development as was the case with the Navy seal.

Ships of the earliest period in the Nation's naval history wore a variety of flags, including the striped Grand Union, and those bearing a pine tree or rattlesnake. However, these various banners may be considered steps in the genesis of the national ensign, the "Stars and Stripes," rather than forebears of a specific flag for the Navy.

The Vietnamese flags of Buddhism can be divided into two parts. The first one is five vertical stripes in the shades of blue, yellow, red, white, and orange respectively. The second part is on the fly which has the same color scheme but placed horizontally.
