US Coast Guard Auxiliary Ensign

US Coast Guard Auxiliary Flag Boats, aircraft, and radio stations belonging to members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and meeting standards of equipment and training set forth by the Commandant of the Coast Guard are designated "facilities" and authorized to display the Coast Guard Auxiliary ensign. This ensign is medium blue with a broad white diagonal band and the Auxiliary emblem in blue and white on the center (33 CFR 5.47). It is known among members as the "blue ensign." It is flown both day and night when the Auxiliarist is aboard, at the main truck if the vessel has a mast or at the bow staff if it does not. Boats equipped with a radio antenna but no mast may fly the Auxiliary ensign on it, about two-thirds of the way up.

US Coast Guard Auxiliary Patrol Boat

US Coast Guard Auxiliary Operations Flag When the Coast Guard takes an Auxiliary member's boat into service for a mission under Coast Guard orders, the "operational facility" displays the Coast Guard Auxiliary Patrol Boat ensign, authorized and described by 33 CFR 5.48, in place of the normal Auxiliary blue ensign. The patrol boat ensign is based on the so-called "racing stripes" painted as an identifying insignia on the hulls and fuselages of Coast Guard cutters and aircraft. If a Coast Guard officer or petty officer is aboard, however, the 'Patrol ensign' is replaced by the normal Coast Guard ensign.

US Coast Guard Auxiliary Officer Pennants and Burgees

Coast Guard Auxiliary officers, who are elected by members to one-year terms of office, fly the pennant of their rank day and night when they are on board. Former officers are entitled to fly burgees of the same design, but with parallel upper and lower edges and a swallow-tailed fly. If an incumbent officer and a past officer are aboard the same vessel at the same time, the incumbent's pennant takes precedence. Otherwise, if two officers or former officers are aboard at the same time, only the senior's pennant or burgee is flown. The pennant or burgee is normally flown at the starboard yardarm or spreader.
