===Ensigns=== {{further|British ensigns}} {{Unreferenced section|date=May 2011|reason=no refs}} The Union Flag can be found in the canton of several of the [[Ensign (flag)|ensign]]s flown by vessels and aircraft of the United Kingdom and its overseas territories. These are used in cases where it is illegal to fly the Union Flag, such as at sea from a ship other than a British warship. Normal practice for British ships is to fly the [[White ensign]] (Royal Navy), the [[Red ensign]] (Merchant and private boats) or the [[Blue ensign]] (government departments and public corporations). Similar ensigns are used by other countries (such as [[List of New Zealand flags#Ensigns|New Zealand]] and [[List of Australian flags#Military and naval flags|Australia]]) with the Union Flag in the canton. Other Commonwealth countries (such as [[Indian Military Flags|India]] and [[List of Jamaican flags#Ensigns|Jamaica]]) may follow similar ensign etiquette as the UK, replacing the Union Flag with their own national flag. {{gallery|mode=nolines|whitebg=y|height=100 |Naval Ensign of the United Kingdom.svg|[[White Ensign|Royal Navy White Ensign]] |Civil Ensign of the United Kingdom.svg|[[Merchant Navy (United Kingdom)|Merchant Navy]] [[Red Ensign]] |Ensign of the Royal Air Force.svg|[[Royal Air Force Ensign]] |Civil Air Ensign of the United Kingdom.svg|[[British Civil Air Ensign]] |Government Ensign of the United Kingdom.svg|[[Blue Ensign]] |Flag of Her Majesty's Coastguard.svg|[[HM Coastguard]] Ensign |Ensign of the British Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses.svg|Ensign of the [[Northern Lighthouse Board]] |Government Ensign of Bermuda.svg|Blue ensign flown by vessels of the [[Government of Bermuda]]'s ''Department of Marine and Ports'' and [[Bermuda Police Service|Bermuda Police Service Marine Section]] |Civil Ensign of the Isle of Man.svg|[[Isle of Man]] Red Ensign |Government Ensign of Gibraltar.svg|Gibraltar State Ensign |Civil Ensign of the Cayman Islands.svg|[[Cayman Islands]] Red Ensign |Naval Ensign of Australia.svg|[[Australian White Ensign|Royal Australian Navy Ensign]] |Ensign of the Royal Australian Air Force.svg|[[Royal Australian Air Force Ensign]] |Civil Ensign of Australia.svg|[[Australian Red Ensign|Australian Civil Ensign]] |Civil Air Ensign of Australia.svg|[[Australian Civil Aviation Ensign]] |Canadian Red Ensign 1957-1965.svg|[[Canadian Red Ensign|Canadian Civil Ensign]] (1957β1965) |Blue Ensign of Canada (1957β1965).svg|[[Flags of the Royal Canadian Navy|Canadian Naval Jack]] (1957β1965) |Air Force Ensign of Canada (1941-1968).svg|[[Royal Canadian Air Force Ensign]] (1940β1965) |Flag of the Air Board of Canada (1922β1923).svg|[[Air Board (Canada)|Canadian Air Board]] Ensign (1922β1923) |Flag of the Canadian Army (1939β1944).svg|[[Canadian Army]] Battle flag (1939β1944) |Ensign of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets (1953-1976).svg|[[Royal Canadian Sea Cadets]] Ensign (1953β1976) |NLC Flag 1929-65.svg|[[Navy League of Canada]] Ensign (1929β1965) |Flag of the Dominion of Newfoundland.svg|[[Dominion of Newfoundland]] Civil Ensign (1907β1931) |Civil Air Ensign of New Zealand.svg|[[New Zealand Civil Air Ensign]] |Ensign of the Royal New Zealand Air Force.svg|[[Royal New Zealand Air Force]] Ensign |Naval Ensign of New Zealand.svg|[[New Zealand White Ensign|Royal New Zealand Navy Ensign]] |Civil Ensign of New Zealand.svg|New Zealand Civil Ensign |Naval Ensign of Fiji.svg|[[Fiji|Fijian]] Naval Ensign |Civil Ensign of Fiji.svg|Fijian Civil Ensign |Civil Air Ensign of Fiji.svg|Fijian Civil Air Ensign |Civil Air Ensign of Australia (1935β1948).svg|[[Australian Civil Aviation Ensign]] (1935β1948) |Van Diemens Land Ensign.svg|Unofficial [[Van Diemen's Land Ensign]] |Air Force Ensign of Australia (1948β1982).svg|[[Royal Australian Air Force Ensign]] (1948β1982) |Victorian red ensign.svg|[[Flag of Victoria (Australia)|Victorian Red Ensign (1870β1877)]] |Flag of Imperial India.svg|[[Royal Indian Navy]] Ensign |Ensign of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps.svg|[[British Indian Army|Indian Army]] Ensign |Flag of the British East India Company (1801).svg|[[East India Company]] Ensign |Civil Ensign of Jersey.svg|[[Jersey Red Ensign]] |Government Service Ensign.svg|[[Government Service Ensign]] |Ensign of the Sea Cadet Corps.svg|Ensign of the [[Sea Cadets (United Kingdom)|Sea Cadet Corps]] |Ensign of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.svg|Ensign of the [[Royal Bermuda Yacht Club]] |title=}}
