U.S. Navy ensign, not U.S. Navy Jack

[edit]

Someone changed all the U.S. naval ensigns (identical to the U.S. national flag and used while the ship is underway) with the First Navy Jack, a flag used only in port. The latter is less familiar to most readers and I believe Wikipedia policy is to identify naval vessels by their ensigns, and not by other flags (like the jack). Moreover, no other "List of Shipwrecks" page uses the First Navy Jack to identify U.S. Navy ships, so it does nto make sense to use the First Navy Jack only for a couple of years during the American Civil War.
