USSR / Soviet Navy Command Flag /Flot/Sqdr Cmdr.
Sub-collection: Russia / USSRIntroduced in 1950 and used until 1992, all Soviet Navy command flags followed the same general pattern of a red background with the Soviet Naval Ensign in canton. The field was defaced with three, two or one white five point stars, one point up. The number of stars indicated, unlike most Western navies, not the actual grade of the commander, but rather the size of the force he commanded.
From the Louise Veninga Collection.
