Here are the personal flags of the senior civilian officials of the U.S. Department of the Navy. They are depicted in the form flown aboard ships.

U.S. Navy civilian officials' personal flags (not "positional colors"--that term is used only by the Army) come in four sizes:

• 52x66 inches for indoor and ceremonial display, in which case they are trimmed with 2 1/2 inch "gold" (i.e., yellow" fringe) and golden yellow cord and tassels.
• 43x61 1/2 inches for display aboard ships, boats, and on fixed poles outdoors.
• 22x32 inches, also for ships, boats, and fixed poles. Choice of size depends on size of ship, height of pole, size of other flags displayed, etc.
• 12x15 inches, for automobiles.

The position of ASN for Aeronautics was established in 1926. It was left vacant from 1932 to 1941, and retitled "ASN for Air" shortly after being filled in September 1941. It was then definitively abolished in 1959.
Joe McMillan, 5 February 2004

"Established in 1926, the office was redesignated Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research and Development) as of 6 February 1959. This office was again redesignated to Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Engineering and Systems) in April 1977. The office was disestablished in 1990, and the duties were combined with Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Shipbuilding and Logistics) into Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisitions)."
