Commander of the Navy

[Commander of the Navy]

The flag of the Commander of the Navy (Zastava komandanta ratne mornarice) was a square white flag with a border made of tricolour bars, and a red anchor fouled with a yellow cable surmounted with the yellow bordered red five-pointed star.

In the 1990s, the star was removed from the flag of the Commander of the Navy used by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and later by Serbia and Montenegro.

Admiral of the Fleet

[Admiral of the Fleet]

The flag of an Admiral of the Fleet (Zastava admirala flote) was a square white flag with a border made of tricolour bars, and a blue fouled anchor. All available sources show the cable to be blue, whereas it is yellow on the flag of the Commander of the Navy.

The 1990s regulations of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia prescribed almost the same flag, but with a yellow cable, for the Commander of the Fleet, while the Admiral of the Fleet is given a different flag. The change in the flag may have occurred before the 1990s, possibly through 1970s regulations whose details are not available.

The flag of an Admiral (Zastava admirala) was a square white flag with a border made of tricolour bars, and a yellow anchor in canton.

As for the two other Admiral's rank flag, a similar flag had been introduced before the Second World War, with a the royal crown instead of the anchor. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia continued to use the same flags (with the anchor).

The practice to change the main colour of the flag according to the rank was retained by the Croatian Navy in the 1990s although the design of the flags is rather different. Most of the Yugoslav Navy was actually manned by Croatian sailors and sailed along the Croatian coast.
