Naval Jack

The jack - a square version of the national flag - is used by the Royal Norwegian Navy.
Jan Oskar Engene, 01 May 1996

I have seen a Norwegian cadet ship use the Oslo flag as a jack when at anchor in San Francisco.

Also, see The Flag Bulletin # 179 p. 33 "In Scandinavian countries, where the jack closely resembles the ensign, merchant vessels often use the flag of the home port as a jack, a pleasant contribution to flag usage."
James Ferrigan, 11 August 1998
