Commander General of the Navy

[Commander General]
by Željko Heimer, 03 Feb 2001

In Album 2000 is the same as previous flag of Commandant en Chef de la Flotte (as named in Album 1995, not quite the same function, I guess, even if "the Fleet" here is translated as "Navy"). 3:4 ratio
Željko Heimer, 03 Feb 2001

(I based my approximation in images from the Album 2000 — stars are inscribed in circles 1/3 of hoist, and the circles are set on diagonals in the middpoints of rectangles obtained by partition of the flag field in 9 equal rectangles.)

[Chief-commander of Navy]
by Ivan Sache, 26 May 1999

The Album 1995 image seem a bit shorter than current one, being now in 3:4 ratio.

Commander of naval operations

Possibly at the same time when the ministries have merged, the five star flag was disbanded. The 1995 issue have it, while 2000 don't.

Deputy Chief of Naval General Staff and Commanding Naval Operations

[Admiral]
by Željko Heimer, 03 Feb 2001

Album 2000 [pay00] says:

7. Admiral in Command
Three stars “descending” diagonally. Used also by Deputy Chief of Naval General Staff and Commanding Naval Operations. (In Album 1995 the aditional functions were not mentioned — probably not existent at the time or covered under different flags.)
