Description

The simplest variants of the White Ensign are those ensigns which place the national flag in the canton of a plain white field (like Bangladesh). Papua New Guinea also uses such a naval ensign. Source: flag table in Jane's Fighting Ships [jfs].
Jan Oskar Engene, 19 September 1996

White ensign —no red cross— with the national flag in canton. According to Album des Pavillons 2000 [pay00] the ratio is 3:4.
