I came across this in USS Bang (SS-385), on Firefox browsers the flags are offset. I'm not sure how this can be resolved or if anyone else sees this problem, but a work around seems to be to a border around the other flag. I've seen this offset on several ship articles. -- Dual Freq 17:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
It's supposed to be the last year the ship was commissioned (USS), or in service (USNS), right? Not the strike date?

Please change the first line of code from this:
<includeonly>{{#ifexpr: {{{1|999999}}} >= 2002| [[Image:Flag of the United States.svg|{{{2|60}}}px|border|United States Navy Ensign]]}}<!--
to this:
<includeonly>{{#ifexpr: {{{1|999999}}} >= 2002| [[Image:Flag of the United States.svg|{{{2|100x35}}}px|border|United States Navy Ensign]]}}<!--
This change will make the template compliant with the recommended flag icon sizes as listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Ensigns. — Bellhalla ( talk) 21:28, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Can this template be updated from the sandbox? The change makes the 1-point border around the flag optional (with a default to none), to match the output of the new
Template:Shipboxflag, which aims to help standardize ship ensign sizes in infoboxes. To avoid complications with non-rectilinear flags, that template omits the border. When
Template:USN flag is used with
Template:Shipboxflag it creates a mismatch with flag borders. Since the vast majority of transclusions of this template are in a shaded region of an infobox, the border is superfluous. For those uses of the template on a non-colored region, the border can be specified. Many thanks in advance. —

I have simplified the template somewhat, and brought it into alignment with {{ shipboxflag}} and with current guidelines at WP:Alternative text for images#Purely decorative images. I have manually verified (with AWB) that none of the ~7000 transclusions of this template use it for anything other than within {{ Infobox Ship Career}}, so there is no longer any need for any of the parameters I removed. Documentation has also been updated. — Andrwsc ( talk · contribs) 18:46, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
"1776" should not use the rattlesnake flag as evidence points to it use there as anachronistic, it most likely being a late 19th century invention. Not only that, it wasn't an ensign but a jack and this template is for ensigns only. 1776 should use the Grand Union Flag instead as that is more accurate and it was an ensign. – Illegitimate Barrister ( talk • contribs), 17:09, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Please replace "Naval Jack of the United States" with "Flag of the United States (1776–1777)". Reason being is that the former file changed drastically in appearance recently, completely changing its character and appearance, making it no longer suitable here.

Would it not be better to leave the image as it was and upload a new file? It is not usual to make such drastic appearances to a file because it may have unintended consequences in the articles it is used on. — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 08:14, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
I am confused as to how to display the correct flag for an American civil or merchant vessel of the correct year. As near as I can tell, we should just use the same flag as the corresponding naval ensign, but I am not sure this is what should actually be done if the vessel is not a naval one-- though if the two are indeed the same, shouldn't the template be called "US flag" rather than "USN flag"? I can't imagine that a US merchant vessel and a naval vessel would carry different flags, but I am no expert on such things and do not want to use an incorrect flag. Could someone please clarify this for me? Thanks! A loose necktie ( talk) 01:27, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
