Naval ensign

According to Album des Pavillons [pay00], the naval ensign of Georgia is a white flag with a blue rising diagonal stripe, a golden sun emblem in upper hoist and a black anchor in lower fly.
This ensign was recently adopted (1997?). I would guess that after the independence the Soviet naval ensign was retained at least for some time, and probably the national flag was used as the ensign for some period, too. The blue diagonal is a clear reminiscence of the blue used in Soviet naval ensigns.

According to Album des Pavillons [pay00], the flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy is similar to the naval ensign, but its lower triangle is horizontally divided black-white-dark red.
