WHEREAS the Secretary of the Navy, with the approval of the Secretary of Defense, has adopted, and has recommended that I approve, an official flag for the United States Navy, the design of which accompanies and is hereby made a part of this order, 1 and which is described as follows: United States Navy Flag. The flag for the United States Navy is 4 feet 4 inches hoist by 5 feet 6 inches fly, of dark blue material, with yellow fringe, 2½ inches wide.
