| All commissioned Indian
Naval Ships, Submarines and Shore Establishments fly the
Indian Naval Ensign. After January 26, 1950, the ships
and submarines of the Indian Navy displayed the Indian
Naval Ensign. This Ensign was white in colour, divided
into four parts by a Red Cross and had the Indian Flag
in its left quarter. From 15th August 2001, Indian Naval
Ships, Submarines and Shore Establishments are now adorned
with a new Indian Naval Ensign. The present design of
the Ensign was made keeping in mind simplicity, commonality
of the Ensign with the two other Services and the use
of white and Navy blue colours which are traditional to
the Navy. The new Naval Ensign now displays the National
Flag at the left, top corner and a Navy Anchor with the
National Crest above it in Navy Blue. In addition, the
Naval Ensign is also flown at the shore Headquarters of
a ship or senior officer, at detach Naval Establishments.
Naval Ensign can also be flown at Naval Recruiting Office
with the permission of Naval Headquarters. Besides, Inter-service
establishments like National Defence College, New Delhi,
National Defence Academy, Khadakvasala, Defence Service
Staff College, Wellington and College of Defence Management,
Secunderabad are also authorised to fly the Naval Ensign.
