Description

The ensign of the Naval Reserve Cadets is 'national flag' blue, with the Australian white ensign at the canton, and with a badge at the fly. The badge has a yellow trident penetrating a yellow naval crown, surrounded by a yellow-outlined 'national flag' blue circular scrool bearing the words 'Naval Reserve Cadets' in yellow.

Unidentified Naval Flag

Today I went to see the aircraft carrier USS Constellation which is visiting Sydney. Near the aircraft carrier was a two-masted sailing ship, flying an ensign similar to the one (Naval Reserve Cadets) I described on January 26. It is navy blue, with the Australian white ensign in the canton, and with a royal crown in full colours in the middle of the fly. Perhaps this is an ensign for training vessels affiliated with the navy but do not belong to Naval Reserve Cadets.

I wonder if the Blue Ensign with a crown in the fly and an Australian White Ensign canton could be the ensign of the Royal Australian Navy Sailing Association? If not, I would be interested to know, what is their ensign?

Most unlikely - the RANSA burgee is exactly the same as its British counterpart: white, red St. George's Cross, blue naval crown in the middle.

I had the privilege to go through a batch of ensigns and other flags destined for a Royal Australian Navy ship that'll be coming through here [Penang, Malaysia] some time. There is nothing earth shattering to report, except that this ensign was in the batch.
