Summary
| Description | The Navy's presidential flag from 1882, the year it was designed. This was the first official flag specifically for the president; the basic design was the Great Seal of the United States on a blue field (several other nations used the national coat of arms on the flag of their head of state). It was not a completely faithful Great Seal; the eagle is in all white and thirteen stars in an arc were used instead of the regular crest. The Army had their own presidential flag starting in 1898, and both were replaced in 1916. |
