I received today a copy of "Ceremonial Maritimo de la
Armada del Ecuador". according to this booklet, national
flag is always with Coat of Arms and has a ratio of 2:3 (this
confirms official website). The national flag is also used as
Naval and Merchant Ensign.
Armand Noel du Payrat, 11 Febuary 1999
According to Album 2000 [pay00]
- National Ensign (---/--W (2:3)) - This is the national flag in
2:3 ratio for use the the Navy. Note explains that the same is
used as Presidential Standard, and in ratio 1:1 as Ceremonial
Colours.
Željko Heimer, 1 August 2001
The Flaggenbuch (1939-41) [neu92]
section dedicated to Ecuador do not show it. The ensign without
coat of arms is shown as "civilensign, national ensign for
private citizens".

According to William Crampton: The Complete Guide to Flags
[cra89] (p.121): "Ecuador,
Jack - Blue with a condor and foul anchor all white".
Randy Young, 9 Febuary 2001
According to Album 2000 [pay00]:
Jack - Blue flag with white cabled anchor topped with a condor.
Previous issue of Album agrees with this, as well as Crampton's [cra90f]. Znamirowski [zna99] on p. 95 states that the jack
is the same as the national flag (I guess he means the CoA-less
flag). This is cerainly not correct, at least not any more.
However, it may be that it was so before introduction of the blue
jack, since [gmc17] also gives the
Ecuadorean tricolour (ratio 2:3, w/o Coat of Arms) as the jack
(to be seen in [zna99] on p. 97
too).
Željko Heimer, 1 August 2001
According to Flaggenbuch (1939-41) [neu92]
section dedicated to Ecuador, the previous jack had the coat of
arms.

According to Album 2000 [pay00]:
Masthead pennant - Triangualr pennant vertically divided in
yellow, blue and red, ratio apparently 1:10, stripes ratio based
on measuring of the image in Album 2000 is 35:30:35.
Željko Heimer, 1 August 2001
The Flaggenbuch (1939-41) [neu92]
section dedicated to Ecuador show 2:1:1 trapezoid pennant.

National Geographic (1917) [gmc17]
has similar pennant, but it is trapezoid, and with different
ratio of colours.

The Liceo Naval "Cmdte. Rafael Andrade Lalama (Cmdt
Rafael Andrade Lalama Naval Lyceum) is located in Guayaquil, and
despite its name, which derivesx from the traditional French
lycée, which is of course a secondary school, this institution
is actually the Ecuadorian Naval Academy. It quite properly
refers to its flag as a Standard; a color photograph of this
standard can be seen at <www.liceonaval.mil.ec>.
Ron Lahav, 4 May 2007
In an earlier posting I had identified the Liceo Cmdte. Rafael
Andrade Lalama (Cmdt. Rafael Andrade Andrade Lalama)) as the
Ecuadorian Naval Academy, but it seems that I was misinformed and
that I should have followed the suggestion given in the name of
this institution - the word Liceo is derived from the French word
Lycée, and refers to a higher academically oriented secondary
and post-secondary institution, rather like a combination of a US
high school and junior college. It is not the Ecuadorian Naval
Academy.

Cmdt. Rafael Morán Valdez Naval College is located at the
Salinas Naval Base. This is the genuine Naval Academy, and a note
on its home page indicates that it is the principal institution
for the training of both the Ecuadorian Navy (Armada) and Coast
Guard (Guardamarina). Photographs of the flags of the Escuela
Superior can be seen at <www.essuna.org>.
Ron Lahav, 17 August 2007
Actually within the site there are three flags; one at
"MENSAJE DEL DIRECTOR", black with small emblem; second
at "Guardiamarina- Formación": black w/ large emblem,
inscriptions; and third - an EC national with inscription
"ESCUELA SUPERIOR NAVAL".
