According to Christian Fogd Pedersen’s Flaggor i färg, 1973
[ped73], the flag of the auxiliary
fleet was dark blue with the naval flag in the canton. Adopted in
1924 and changed in 1935 (when the
new naval flag was added).

I found in Understanding Soviet Naval Developments
([u9s81], a book released by
the US Navy about the Soviet Navy) pictures of some (not all)
Soviet Naval flags. One is the Auxilliary Pennant: It has the
Soviet Naval Ensign on one end, and blue for the rest of the
pennant.

It is strange… Pennant of Auxiliary fleet… I doubt.

The flag of the Commander of a Naval base was dark
blue with the naval flag in the canton and a white
anchor on the right half of the flag. The flag was
adopted 1935.

The ensign of the Soviet Hydrographic
Service was used until the downfall of USSR.

As far as I know in 1935 was adopted the broad-pennant of Head
of Hydrographic Detachment. It was blue with a “badge”. But I think
it was not used after WWII. The ensign of the Soviet
Hydrographic Service was used until the downfall of USSR.

was used until the downfall of USSR.

I was just at the local army/navy surplus store and saw
this flag. It was sized about 2 by 3 feet
(≅65
× 100 cm) and had the Soviet Navy ensign in the canton.
The fly was originally a blue but had some purple fading.
On the fly was what appeared to be a hard hat divers helmet
and shoulders in black.
The viewports on the side of the helmet are
both covered with safety bars. Sort of like # only perpendicular. The
center circle on the helmet is less bold but the same size. The white
fields were in a light tan that could have been simply weathering of the
cloth. It appeared to be wool. The color changes throughout the flag had
bordering in shades of gray. All of the borders (fimbrilations) were about
1/2 cm wide. Those around all of the black image and inside of the
circle were a very pale gray. The border of the blue field with the canton
was a medium blue-gray. The border of the outside of the circle was a dark
gray. There was no bordering on the edge of the flag itself, except the
hoist reinforcement which was also in dark gray.

I have one of this in my collection, but it is about twice
that size. It was billed as a search and rescue flag.
