Intro

Also, as in other Chilean flags with stars does not seem to have any detailed prescription regarding the sizes and the exact poitions of the stars, so I have followed the drawings in Album 2000 [pay00] (that, as a rule, follows the Flaggenbuch 1939 [neu39]). I believe that the eventual error introduced so could not be that great.

Vice Admiral when not in command

Vice Admiral red flag

At least during World War II the flag of a Vice admiral was different if he was commanding (this one) from if he wasn’t (red instead of blue), ie. the same principle as with rear admiral. (Source: Jane’s Fighting Ships of World War II [jfs98]
Marcus Wendel, 05 Sep 1999

This confirmed neither by Flaggenbuch [neu39] nor by Album [pay00]. We can guess it was only used during Second World War.
