	Ensign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In some countries, such as France and the United States of America, the national ensign is identical to the national flag, while in others, such as the United Kingdom and Japan, there are special national flags for maritime use.
		Ensigns may also be flown from the gaff of a ship, and may be shifted to the yardarm when the ship is underway, where it is known as a steaming ensign.
		In nautical use, an ensign in the form of a flag is usually flown at the stern of a ship or boat to indicate its nationality.
