![[Korea Jack]](../images/k/kr~jack.gif)
image by Željko Heimer
Two basic version of the jack (designated often as
Naval Ensign, too) are found in vex-literature. As Armand explained, the correct
version is the one "without hooks" on anchors, and as Armand du Payrat
also explained the flag in question is indeed the jack and not the naval ensign.
The ROK Navy vessels use the national flag as the naval ensign.

I have official information on the Naval Jack
(unfortunately dated in Korean) which contains usage guidelines and a
specification diagram. Our illustration is essentially correct (with the canton
an one-quarter the flag) except that the yin-yang should be one-half the canton
in width (sited in the exact centre of that canton), that the emblem should
begin one-eighth the flag below the top of the canton and end approx
one-twentieth the flag from the bottom, and there is no white border around the
yin-yang.
The info also gives five standard sizes and usage (fortunately translated into
English) as follows:
1) 200 x 300cm
a) ...on the bow of a large warship and
b) ...at special places.
2) 140 x 200cm (7:10?) ...on the bow of a medium-size vessel.
3) 90 x 135cm
a) ...on the bow of the commander's office.
b) Other occasions,
c) On the bow of a small vessel and d) On the land.
4) 60 x 100 cm On a small boat.
5) a) ...on the conference table and
b) ...on the office table.

I made a nice picture of naval jack of South Korea at Jeju island:

ensign.
