Actually the Mexican Naval Flag was Mexico’s First Flag, without the anchor of course. See Mexico was freed by the “The Army of the Three Guarantees”. Each color represents one: Religion, Independence and Union. Once Mexico became fully independent it adopted the colors and added a variation of the Shield we know today. So it seems this was all the way around, the Naval Flag kind of came first.

The Jack of Italy is a blend of the merchant Republics:Venice (top left),Genoa (top right),Amalfi (bottom left) and Pisa. I once saw a version of it with the Savoia coat of arms in it (a cross like Genoa's but with the white in the cross and the red in the background and a blue rim to the shield) sported right where the other flags angles met,in the flag's centre. It maybe was the ensign of the Regia Marina when we were a kingdom and Savoias ruled,this explains why their CoA was in it (just like it was in the normal flag's white canton at the time)

Australia has a variation of their flag where the blue is white

Well the Italian navy flag actually has a deeper meaning. During the renaissance when there were many independent nations in Italy, there were 4 maritime republics. These were Pisa, Genoa, Venice, and Amalfi. So when Italy united, it would make sense for them to pay respect to their history, and put these symbols on their flag. Still the navy flag is fitting, because these were maritime republics, and the navy fights in the sea.

Hi, J.J., as always, having fun (and learning) from your videos. One little nugget of information about the Mexican flag in your video. I agree that it seems that the naval flag is "out of the blue", especially since we are used to the tricoloured flag with the eagle in the central stripe, but the reason of the naval flag is historic: the flag you see in diagonal colours and golden stars is the first flag of Independant Mexico, ("Bandera del ejército trigarante"/banner of the army of the three principles). Therefore, since the Mexican Navy started with those old former Spanish then Mexican ships. The Naval Mexican banner makes sense. Cheers.

I served on HMCS Saguenay for 2 years in the late 1980s. The Canadian Ensign was then the jack; the National Flag was the ensign at the time (things got switched around a few years ago to match up with the pre-Unification British tradition).

I thought the intro be like "Hey ya'll, Scott here" 😂😂😂

3:51 aaaah a delicious Guinness just flipped and on a green background

I knew about these flags, but I enjoyed this video. I think you made a very enjoyable and succinct presentation for Naval Jacks. I think they are called jacks because of the shape (a cross with an X)... although now you have me wondering about the origin of that term. P.S. Mexico's is based on one of the first national flags of Mexico.

The México jack flag is the trigarante flag. The first national flag after the separation from Spain.

Although jacks are mostly associated with naval ships, the UK also has a civil jack for use on non-military vessels. The flag is the Union Jack with a wide white border. You can see an example of this on the HQS Wellington, moored on the Thames in central London. It is (or was) also used on pilot boats and is also known as the Pilot Jack.

I found one reference to the new US Naval Ensign in the coat of arms of Captain John Paul Jones's crew. It also uses a mildly obscure version of the American flag called the Serapis Flag, or the John Paul Jones flag if you don't remember the fancy name. It arose from when JPJ was sailing in to a Dutch port after fighting the English and raiding ships. His ship didn't have an flag which was a big no-no, but the Dutch really didn't like the English, so seeing he was American they decided to make a flag based on his description. That flag is the Serapis Flag. I don't think it has any official recognition these days, rather it's a relic of early American history.

That English-Français sign hahahaha

I once went to a celebration where there were 1700s and 1800s Spanish and British ship replicas docked in A harbor. I saw the Castillan Naval Jack and the Union Jack.

When J.J. said "ships have more sophisticated ways of communicating with each other.." I find it funny... strictly because it's the picture of an Air Traffic Control Center on an aircraft carrier.. and I work there lol. We've yet to talk to another ship... that'd be cool.

Never knew about them, but some look cheesy....

George Busch makes an ugly ass flag for the Navy Me: TiMe To MeLt SoMe StEel BeEmS!

I have always wondered what the Russian’s where doing with that strange Union Jack looking thing. What an informative channel

As a Canadian with Uruguayan family roots I love that you used the Uruguayan flag for the ship! Cheer's from a fellow Canadian in Ontario!

Is the Basque a separate entity? That is confusing. We have many Basque restaurants in my rural area and they sure seem Nationalistic?!

@@danielsafreno3245 It's an autonomus community so it has it's own regional governament, but for the most part they are administrated by the Spanish State. That being said, there is a pretty strong nationalist movement that reclaims either the constitution of a federal subjet for the Basque Country or the complete independence.

one of the best youtube channels hands down

The naval jack that they cite as the inspiration for the old U.S. Naval jack was the jack used in the revolution which is just the red and white stripes.

In Plymouth (og) there is an unofficial tradition to fly the Devonport Jack/Devon Ensign, which is similar to the Union Ensign, but with the Cross of St Petroc replacing the Cross of St George.
