In the Soviet Navy, such practices of the lifting of flags operated this practice (however, it was adopted in most countries):
The main symbol of the service of a warter to the Navy of the USSR was the naval flag. On the go, the naval flag is worn on a hafel (or on a fed flagpole). In the parking lot - rises on the fed flagpole.
During the battle or in mind the enemy, the Naval Flag rose on all the vehicle walls except the grotto, where the USSR state flag was rising.
Pennant climbed onto the grotto (in the case of one mast - on the fortress) and rushed constantly (day and night, in any weather), while the ship was in the campaign. Only descended if the flag or brad-pennance of an official rose on the wall.
Flags of officials rose to form or grotto. Breed pennants were rising there.

The Fleet of the USSR used its, different from the international arch, the system of signal flags. The same flags were used as flags of coloring.

Consultations of the leading Flaught Marinist CIS A. Basova

On October 12, 1923, the chairman of the RVS L. Trotsky approved the album project "Flags of the Marine Chiefs and Courts of the RCF." By the decision of the USSR SCC dated October 30, 1923, an interdepartmental commission on the flags of the USSR was created. As a result of her work, the decision of the CEC and SCC of the USSR "On Flags and Features of the USSR" of August 11, 1924 was born. This document contained drawings and descriptions of more than 50 flags and pennants of the Navy, Air Force, etc. Services, 20 pennants of shipping companies. Part of these flags was planned to introduce SNK's decrees. A secondary set of flags of the working and peasant red fleet flags approved by the decision of the CEC and SCC of the USSR of August 29, 1924 "On Flags and Features of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics". On September 12, 1924, an order was published on the fleet No. 220, which was adopted by the "album of Flags of the RKKF and the Maritime Agency". Finally, once again (already the third) set of flags of the Navy approved CEC and SCC of the USSR on May 25, 1925, in the "Album of Flags and Vimpels of the USSR", then the flags of the Union republics, departments are included.

The decree on flags of August 29.1924 was repeatedly made changes and additions (the list of documents we exist, see the "Departmental Flags of the USSR").

The flags of the new sample were introduced on May 27, 1935, the decision of the CEC and SCC of the USSR No. 1982/341 "On the Naval Flags of the SSR Union", the set of flags was approved by Decree SSR from April 21, 1964 "On the USSR Naval Flags". Then the flags with numerous decisions of state bodies, were described in naval charters and other documents; Published in the albums produced by the Navy People's Commissariat and the Ministry of Defense (for example, the Album of Flags .... "Narkoat Navy 1939, Album" Naval Flags of the Union of the USSR "of the Naval Ministry of the USSR 1951, etc.).

The First Naval Flag of the USSR was first raised on November 7, 1923 according to the order of the RVSR No. 1981 dated September 6, 1923 and the order on the fleet No. 371 of September 11, 1923, and was approved at the meeting of the Presidium of the USSR CEC on August 24, 1923 [Information A . Basova]. He later confirmed by the Decree of the Presidium of the USSR CEC dated August 29, 1924:

"Rectangular red flag with a length ratio to 3: 2. 2. In the center of the flag of the white circle (sun), inside which the red five-pointed star facing one end up. Inside the star placed white sickle and hammer. The circle has a diameter equal to half the width of the flag, And the star 5/6 of the diameter of the circle. From the white circle (sun) to the corners and middle of the parties - eight diverging white rays, the width of which at the circle of 1/24, and at the edge of the flag of 1/10 of the latter.

According to A. Basova, the naval flag was developed by N.I. Orynsky (later - in captain of 1 rank) shortly after a trip to the Far East, apparently, according to the model of the Japanese military flag.

The appearance of the first naval flag of Russia is associated with the construction in 1669 of the first Russian warship "Orel". According to the preserved testimony for the "Eagle" in 1668, a flag consisting of white, blue and red colors was made, however, the exact location of the colors is not known, but it is known that on the flag by the decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich dated April 24, 1669 Veneered "Write" Russian State Coat of Arms On Russian colors: white, blue and red. But the well-known reformer Tsar Peter I decided not to stop at what was achieved, and in October 1699 in the draft of the Declaration of the Messenger in Istanbul E. I. Ukrainians depicted drawings of two fleet flags: with three horizontal equilibrium strips (marked - "White", "Blue "And" red ") and with a blue oblique oblique cross on top of these strips. From 1699 to 1712, Peter I drew another eight flag projects that were consistently accepted in the fleet. The latter (eighth) and the final version was so described by Peter I: "The flag is white, the blue of this is there is a blue Andreevsky cross, in which Russia christened." In such a form, the Andreevsky flag existed in the Russian fleet until November 1917. It is curious that the Andreev flag continued to be used on the ships "White" during and after the civil war. Only in December 1924 in the city of Bizert in North Africa, the launch of the last White Guard ships. The first version of the flag of the USSR Navy was developed on the basis of the naval flag of Japan by the captain of the first rank of N. I. Oryovsky, but his similarity with the flag of another country did not give him a long time for afloat, so to speak, and in 1935 was approved, among Other, New Flag of the USSR Military Forces. Over time, the flag was modified, the proportions of the star and sickle changed with a hammer, but the idea remained all the same. And until 1992, the Navy flag of the USSR existed in this form, in which it is represented by our online store. The USSR Navy Flag is a white cloth with a blue stripe running along the bottom edge of the flag. A red five-pointed star and crossed sickle and a hammer of red-colored red, although he was loaded with socialist characters, but nevertheless reminded, at least in color, reminded the Andreev flag of the Russian Fleet. What to please the sailor, who believed faithfully on the Fleet of the Union State? It is enough to buy the flag of the Navy of the USSR, and at first glance, only the bright moments of such a difficult service will be overlooked. The material from which the flag is performed is quite reliable, the flaple grid has a large mechanical strength, and when washing, the color will remain as bright as when purchasing.

The basis of the Soviet Union battle of the Soviet Union, and the construction of a modern fleet was one of the priority tasks of the USSR, but the beginning of the Great Patriotic War prevented the implementation of these plans.

The worker-peasant red fleet took part in the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940, which was carried out mainly to artillery duels between the Soviet ships and Finnish coastal fortifications.
