[StartQuote] The blue flag with stars was indeed the Union Jack and according to Naval regulations was to be flown when not under way. It could be flown from the bow as large ships tended to do or flown from the stern as most PT's did, if they bothered to do soat all. When our first Jack was worn, we did not replace it. Flag rules were lax and different by squadron (and boat skipper). We flew ours on the radar mast and never took it down except to replace it occasionally. We wanted to fly it at night since that's when we operated and was "seen" by the enemy. I suppose if we had had a broom we would have found means to display it after a "kill". Someone did display a swab on our mast one time. [EndQuote]
