New Zealand White Ensign

... that until a distinct white ensign (pictured) was adopted in 1968, Royal New Zealand Navy vessels at sea might have been indistinguishable from British vessels? "When the New Zealand Naval Forces were established under the Defence Act of 1913, an Agreement was reached with the Admiralty that New Zealand ships would wear the same ensign and jack as ships of the Royal Navy ... By the 1930s the New Zealand flag was customarily worn as a jack. At sea, however, a jack is not usually worn and the White Ensign did not provide a sufficient display of the national identity, particularly in battle." from: "The White Ensign".

Nicely done, is new enough, long enough, and no issues with the article. I like the first hook best, ALT1 would also work. I think ALT2 is not interesting enough. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 23:21, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
