Description The 13-star "boat" flag version of the Ensign of the United States, commonly used in the 1800s on smaller-sized U.S. Navy ensigns (flags flown on ships) so the stars were still visible at a distance. This practice was formally approved in 1912 in Executive Order 1637, with the precise dimensions being specified, but was discontinued just four years later with Executive Order 2390. After that time, all U.S. Navy ensigns (regardless of size) had the full number of stars.
