Bow Markings Many  boats  carry  bow  markings  to  indicate  to whom the boat is assigned. A boat having an arrow in the bow is assigned for use by a commanding officer or a chief of staff who is not a flag officer. A miniature of the command pennant is on the bow of the boat assigned to a unit commander. A boat assigned for the personal use of a flag or general officer has on each bow the number of stars corresponding to the officer’s rank. Flagstaff Insignias Boats assigned to officers for personal use or boats in which a civil official is embarked on official business are marked with special devices on the flagstaff. The flagstaff for the ensign and for the personal flags or pennants is fitted at the peak with these special devices, shown in figure 4-29, as follows: Spread eagle: For any civilian official or flag officer whose official salute is 19 guns or more Halbert:  For  a  flag  or  general  officer  whose official salute is less than 19 guns or for a civil official whose salute is 11 guns or more but less than 19 Ball: For an officer of the grade, or relative grade, of captain in the Navy, and for certain diplomatic officials Star:   For an officer of the grade, or relative grade, of commander Flat truck: For an officer below the grade, or relative  grade,  of  commander,  and  for  civil officials entitled to honors of a lesser nature than those previously described Boat landings for officers usually are separate from those for enlisted personnel; but there may be times, especially overseas, when they are in the same location. 4-30 Student Notes: Figure 4-28.—Personal flags. Figure 4-29.—Flagstaff insignias.
