The flag of the United States Navy consists of the Seal of the
Department of the Navy in the center, above a yellow scroll inscribed
"United States Navy" in dark blue letters, against a dark blue
background. The flag was officially adopted by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower on April 24, 1959. It is used on land in offices, in parades
and for ceremonial occasions, and often on a staff at the quarterdeck of
ships in port. It is never flown by ships at sea, nor on outdoor
flagpoles on naval land installations.
