Navy Returns to World War I Wreck of USS San Diego

The First Navy Jack is the current U.S. jack authorized by the United States Navy and is flown from the jackstaff of commissioned vessels of the U.S. Navy while moored pierside or at anchor. The design is traditionally regarded as that of the first U.S. naval jack flown in the earliest years of the republic. Navy Rear Adm. Brian Fort, commander of Navy Region Hawaii and Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific, directed the base headquarters to fly the First Navy Jack throughout 2018 to honor the 17 sailors lost in 2017 collisions at sea and to signify renewed resolve.
