Naval flag [i.e. naval ensign] of USSR.
Željko Heimer, 15 Apr 1999, quoting from
Flag-znamya korablya,
07 Mar 1999
It is white with thin light blue stripe
in base, and big red star in hoist and red
sickle and hammer in fly. Proportions 2:3.
Željko Heimer 12 Jul 1996
the ensign of soviet navy (white with red star, hammer, sickle and blue
stripe in bottom) was adopted with Decision of CEC (Central Executive
Committee) and CPC (Council of People’s Commissioners) on 27 may 1935
and was firstly hoisted on navy ships on 1 july 1935. The flag based on
historical navy flag of Andrew’s cross
(white field, blue stripe).

On a photo in the back cover of an issue of Modelist Konstruktor
magazine of the 1980’ies, showing the winners of the Soviet Championship
of Small Scale Model Sports (Ĉempionat SSSR po Sudmodelhnomu
Sportu), held in Kaunas 1985.08, the Soviet Naval Jack is hoisted on a pole
and shows its non-mirrored reverse. (Unless it is just an accidently
mirrored photo…)

The following flag appeared in the U.S. film
K-19 as one of the soviet naval flags flown on the submarine or
presented during the film associated with the ship.

This is a fictional flag, not a real one or a prototype.

It might be a badly recreated Soviet naval ensign.

I found your webpage when trying to find out some information about two flags
shown on a watch. This was a gift from my
brother-in-law (a Polish army captain) to my father, who served in the British
navy as an engineer before his retirement. I understand that these are flags of
the Russian navy, but I'm intrigued by the fact that the one on the left is a
non-mirrored reverse of the usual ensign, and the only reference to it on your
website is of a photo in a magazine - so I thought you would be interested to
see this.

Hammer and sickle were not mirrored by the painter in decorative reasons.
Because hammer and sickle with hammer's top to the left was more usual. In real
flags the hammer and sickle on the reverse side of naval flags were always
mirrored.

Just that it's a Raketa 24 hours watch. Probably for the military, as I think
they were their biggest customers. Nothing about the flags, sorry. I can't
recall the submariner model having such decorations, though. Some other
part of the navy, perhaps.
