Also, as in other Chilean flags with stars does not seem to have
any detailed prescription regarding the sizes and the exact poitions
of the stars, so I have followed the drawings in Album 2000
[pay00] (that, as a rule, follows the
Flaggenbuch 1939 [neu39]). I
believe that the eventual error introduced so could not be that great.

At least during World War II the flag of a Vice admiral was
different if he was commanding (this one) from if he wasn’t
(red instead of blue), ie. the same principle as with
rear admiral.

This confirmed neither by Flaggenbuch
[neu39]
nor by Album [pay00].
We can guess it was only used during Second World War.

The Album 2000 [pay00]
shows a 2:3 blue flag with two white stars placed vertically in the middle
of the flag.
Already shown in Flaggenbuch [neu39],
with the same allocation, and also «als Chef des Stabes in
Ministerium (as Chief of Staff in Ministery).
If the ministery of Navy was suppressed,
that allocation automatically disappeared, too.
