On Ethiopian Naval Rank Flags

These flags were adopted in 1956, when Ethiopia established its own navy. The flags became obsolete in 1975 following the end of the Monarchy. Ethiopia lost its coastline altogether when Eritrea broke away in 1993, and the fleet of naval vessels was taken over by the Eritrean government; it did not maintain a navy, but instead sold all the naval vessels to foreign buyers.
The images are based on the "Flags of all nations (B.R. 20(2). Volume II)" [hms58].
