 | | In 1920, the Australian Naval Board Flag was to follow the general style of the Lord High Admiral or Admiralty Flag, of a yellow horizontal anchor on a red flag, but the Australian Government proposed either a white horizontal stockless anchor on a blue flag, or a yellow one on a red flag. |
 | | From memory, and a rough sketch, the appearance of the anchor is exactly the same as the anchor on the Defence Force Ensign, though it's hard to be sure if the proportions are the same. |
 | | To work, the stock, the bar across the top of the anchor, has to be at right angles to the arms, and should therefore be visible only as a small circle or square little wider than the width of the upright part of the anchor. |
