Album 2000 [pay00] shows a
blue flag with white disk with the coat of arms
surrounded with 17 white stars. The disk seems to be 2/3 of hoist and
stars are given as pointing “inwards” towards the center
of the disk.

[kan56] gives only 12 stars;
Gresham Carrʼs Flags of the World, 1956
[car56], gives
13; and both [bar65] (1965)
and [bcr81] give
(like [pie90]) 17.
According to [ped80],
the jack is like the state flag.
Mark Sensen, 11 Apr 1999
The Album 1995 [pie90]
gives the jack as a white ensign with the in canton (without arms)
and yellow anchor in fly, which most sources show for the
presidential flag, while it shows for
the presidential flag what most sources show for the jack.
Was it error in Album 1995?).

In Znamierowskiʼs Encyclopedia
[zna99],
p. 95, jack = national flag (sic!).

corner of the flag.
Željko Heimer, 17 Jun 2001
According to Gresham Carrʼs Flags of the World, 1956
[car56], these flags are dark blue

the cross is half the height of the flag.
Mark Sensen, 13 Apr 1999
The 1917 National Geographic Magazine article
[gmc17] shows a different design,
based on the state flag.
Do we have any idea when these flags were adopted and when were
replaced with current set (and if there was something in between)?

Album 2000 [pay00] shows a
white flag with the coat of arms and with four
blue stars one in each corner of the flag. That is actually the same as
the flag of the Secretary, with inverted colours.
