You learn something new every day

Or maybe I already knew some of this and forgot.

The First Navy Jack is generally flown only by the oldest ship in the fleet.

I did not know that.

The Kitty Hawk is the oldest and has been since 1998.

I don’t think I knew that.

However, in 2002 all ships were ordered to fly the Jack for the duration of the War on Terror.

I’m pretty sure I knew that.

Head on over to Murdoc’s for links and one kick ass pic of the Kitty Hawk.

    Ah, yes, Random Nuclear Strikes: a fellow “Don’t Tread On Me” site.

    I don’t know about you, but the DTOM flags and banners and such fire me up. If it does that to me today, just think what it must have done to the Patriots in the late 1700s.

    It was probably pretty revolutionary at the time…
