Union Jack sau Naval Jack sau US Navy Jack, reprezentând partea din stânga sus a steagului Statelor Unite ale Americii, conţinând 50 de stele albe pe un fond de albastru ultramarin, numită şi Union, a fost folosită ca steag oficial al United States Navy între 1960 şi 2002.
US Navy Jack, corespunzând numărului de state componente ale Uniunii, variind între 13 şi 50, a fost steagul arborat de toate navele Marinei SUA într-o perioadă mult mai lungă de timp, între 14 iulie 1777 şi 11 septembrie 2002, cu excepţia unei scurte perioade dintre 13 octombrie 1975 şi 31 decembrie 1976, care a fost legată de sărbătorirea bicentenarului Statelor Unite şi a United States Navy, când a fost substituit de First US Navy Jack.
The primary jack design is the blue field with stars from the US National Ensign. The blue, starred jack is referred to as the Union Jack, but should not be confused with the British Union Jack. Like the Ensign, the number of stars on the jack has increased with each state admitted into the union. Rules for flying the jack are similar to the national ensign. It is flown from the jackstaff from 08:00 to sunset while Navy ships are moored or at anchor. It is required to be the same size as the union of the ensign being flown from the stern of the ship. It is also flown from the yardarm during a general court-martial or court of inquiry.[1] During times when the ensign is at half mast, the jack is also at half mast. The jack is hoisted smartly and lowered ceremoniously in the same manner as the ensign, however the jack is not dipped when the ensign is dipped.[2]
Some exceptions to the Union Jack have occurred. The most prominent being the use of the First Navy Jack for the Navy and Country's Bicentennial and subsequently.[3] On June 3, 1999, the Secretary of the Navy authorized the flying of the Submarine Centennial Jack aboard US Navy submarines and sub tenders during the year 2000.[4]
