Would it be possible to move the ensign at the bottom to the top of the page, much like what is done for the Royal Canadian Air Force? This is not the page for Maritime Command, after all, but a historical commandCpt ricard 03:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Royal (Canadian) Navy White Ensign

I agree fully with the above comment. In fact, the MARCOM ensign should not be shown at all since the Royal Canadian Navy and CF Maritime Command are two distinct entities, and the MARCOM ensign did not come into use until after unification, even though the RCN did exist when the Canadian Flag replaced the Red and Blue Ensigns in 1965. To be historically accurate, the White Ensign of the Royal Navy (also used by the RCN) and Canadian Blue Ensign should be the only ones depicted.--MarshallStack 20:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
