From the Singha Beer source:

The Flag of the Naval Commander-in-Chief
The base of this dark blue flag is two thirds of its length. In the middle stands a yellow anchor threaded through a flaming yellow Chakkra, on top of which is a Crown — also in yellow.

Launched in B.E.2479 [1936 AD] during the reign of King Rama VIII, the flag resembles the one in use at the present time.

Santiago Dotor, 5 Nov 1999

Blue flag with a yellow naval badge, the same one as used in the jack, a crowned anchor passing though a chakra. In Album 2000 the caption is "Chief of Naval Staff," but it is a matter of translation, I guess.
