Album des Pavillons 2023 illustrates a flag for Chief of Royal Saudi
Naval Forces, which seems to be the same as Commander of the Naval Forces. Its
flag is based on flag of the Naval Forces, but two yellow crossed swords are
placed at lower hoist.

The circular emblem is supposed to be a medieval Arab astrolabe, a navigational instrument that was a precursor of the modern sextant.
