1. National Flag.Željko Heimer, 08 Oct 20012:3
Politikens Flagbook [rya00a]
just mentions a white ensign for Warships. I wonder when
the National flag is used as Millitary Ensign.

Recent (1995) photos of Ghanean warships show St. George
cross, and national flag in canton yet French navy ship in port visit
to Tema in June 1999 reports that the ghanean patrolship showed the national
flag as ensign. So, I think that both can be used as naval ensign.

In 1995 they flew a white ensign, in 1999 they flew a
tricolor. Did they change between those dates, or are they
inconsistent?

The Album 2000 [pay00] says:
2. Alternative Naval Ensign.British influenced white ensign with red St. George cross thoughout and with the national flag in canton. Where is this ratio from?5:8
Acording to [smi75], the cross width is
1/9th of the hoist. But are the proportions really 2:3? I’d expect
≅9:15…

Janes’s Fighting Ships 2000
[jfs] shows the
Ghanian Navy consisting of four patrol boats,
two each of two classes. The two photographs,
dated 1998 and 1999, both show the white ensign
with cross, one flying at the ensign staff on
the stern and the other on the starboard
yardarm. The electronic 2001 edition of
[jfs] has two
new pictures of the Ghanian Navy, both dated
2000. Again, both patrol boats are flying the
white ensign.

The Naval Ensign is also similar to
that of Britain, as are those of many
Commonwealth countries, but in this case it has the proportions 2:3,
and has the Ghanian flag in the canton.
Santiago Dotor, 23 Feb 2000, quoting
[c2b81], page 151
According to Ultimate Pocket Flags of the World
[rya97], this is the naval ensign of
Ghana.
Peter Krembs, 03 Apr 2001
I have no records with that white flag reported by
[rya97].
Armand du Payrat, 04 Apr 2001
According to the Album 2000 [pay00],
the Chief of Naval Staff uses a 2:3 white flag with red cross thoughout with
two black balls, one in 1st and one in 3rd quarter. There is, I guess, no doubt
on British influence here, too.
