The White Ensign Flag and its history
In 1864, the Admiralty ruled that the White Ensign flag – flown by all serving Royal Navy warships, ship’s boats, Royal Marines craft, naval bases and establishments at home and overseas – would become the Service’s only standard, marking it apart from the merchant fleet.
Since then, the White Ensign has become the iconic symbol of British sea power – and has spawned similar naval flags, particularly in Commonwealth countries.
