At http://www.heritage.com.ua/istorija/geraldika/RIZNE/GrechPrap.htm,
located by Dov Gutterman, there is an article of
well-known ukrainian vexillologist and heraldist A.Grechilo. He
describes national symbols of Ukraine. Article is written still
in communist period (1989). Flag of Ukraine in that time was the
Soviet red flag with a blue stripe at the bottom. The author
proves, that the national symbolics is not "bad".
This flag described as navy ensign of Ukraine adopted in 1918,
16, July.

This flag wrongly appears at http://www.uarmy.com.ua/ALMANAH/ALMANAH03/article12/art12.html
as "Flag of Navy Minister, 1918". The flag which is
wrongly described there as "Navy Ensign of Ukraine, adopted
18, July, 1918" is really the Flag
of Navy Minister.

In 1918 hetmanate navy ensign (officially): BLUE (synij) cross

State flag and national Jack. Montells: Designed following
design of Basil Krichesky, and orientations from the future
president Mijail Hruschevsky, adopted 22 March 1918. If I am not
wrong only the small cross above the trident was added in the
previous design.
