Thank you, Mr. Know-It-All.ORIGINAL: Bullwinkle58
They're moored at a pier. I'm sure most eveyone here knows this (but not the artist), but the position of the ensign is VERY important on a US Navy warship. When moored the national ensign is flown from the stern and the jack from the bow. When the ship gets underway, when the anchor comes off the bottom (is "aweigh") or the last mooring line is detached from the bollard/cleat on the pier, the command "shift colors" is given and the ensign is lowered at the stern and run up on the mast, (and th ejack is removed fromt he bow and not replaced by anything.) Underway US Navy vessels always fly the ensign from the masthead (except subs, sometimes, but let's not go into that . . .) This has legal implications as the Rules of the Road change dramaticlaly when a vessel is underway, or underway and making way, versus anchored/moored.
In battle, especially, for national pride as well as identification, a VERY large ensign is going to be at the masthead. Getting this wrong in a painting is a Big Mistake (tm), not a minor one, such as forgetting boiler exhaust.
