Topic: Bowman Flag


  
  National flag Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In most cases, the civil flag is a simplified version of the state flag, the difference often being the presence of a coat of arms on the state flag which is absent from the civil flag.
Examples include the flags of Monaco and of Indonesia, which differ only slightly in proportion; of the Netherlands and of Luxembourg, which differ in proportion as well as in the shade of blue used; and of Romania and of Chad, which are almost completely identical.
For example, the flags of Venezuela, of Columbia, and of Ecuador all use variants of the flag of Great Colombia, the country they comprised upon their independence from Spain; and the flags of Egypt, of Iraq, of Syria, and of Yemen are all highly similar variants of the flag of the Arab revolt of 1916–1918.

The flag that Governor Arthur Phillip raised on January 26, 1788, in Sydney Cove, was not the British flag as we know it today - but the Queen Anne, or Union flag - carrying only the red cross of St George of England and the white diagonal of St Andrew of Scotland.
The flag was not called the Union Jack until the addition of the dividing red saltire of St Patrick, for Ireland, in 1801.
It was not until the Flags Act of 1954, under prime minister Robert Menzies, that the now familiar blue Southern Cross became for the first time the official and superior Australian national flag.

It is important to understand that U.S.-flag vessels compete in the international marketplace, and in the absence of cost equality ‑‑ not only for shipboard labor costs, but for these other significant disadvantages to flying the U.S. flag as well ‑‑ the country cannot expect private, for-profit operators to retain their U.S.-flag ties.
In this regard, it is also important to understand that the benefits associated with U.S.-flag operations have been seriously eroded in recent years by the marked decline in cargoes reserved to U.S.-flag carriage, both in the civilian preference area and with respect to DOD cargoes.
