Commodore's flag - Image by Ivan Sache, 19 October 2003
National Geographic (1917) [gmc17] shows a Commodore's flag as a blue forked flag, in proportion 1:2, with a white cross. This seems to be the only source showing this flag.Željko Heimer & Ivan Sache, 19 October 2003

Senior officer's flag - Image by Ivan Sache, 19 October 2003
National Geographic (1917) [gmc17] shows the seniority pennant as a blue triangular flag, in proportion 1:2, with a white cross. This seems to be the only source showing this flag.Flaggenbuch [neu92] describes it as the flag of a senior commodore or senior commander, or senior officer of the rank of Lieutenant-Commander or above. When this flag was hung from a point [i.e. displayed with the hoist attached to a crossbar, like a vexillum] it was the flag of a senior officer below the rank of Lieutenant-Commander.
