The Album 2000 [pay00] shows a
2:3 white flag with red border, the national emblem in the middle and four
yellow Suns one above other along the fly. There is no matching flag in
Album 1995 [pie95]. Possibly the
flag is rather new. There is a flag of the Minister
of Navy and Air Trafic in Flaggenbuch
[neu39], but that is more similar to the
C-in-C Navy, and therefore probably not
“continuous”. The border here is shown about 1/10 of
hoist or maybe even a bit more, while the other similarly patterned flags
shown latter in the series have border around 1/8 of hoist. I don’t
know how significant that is.

According to Jaume
Ollé’s web page on Peruvian flags, the positional rank flag of
the Peruvian Defense Minister is a white flag with a large emblem centered on
it. This emblem combines items for all three branches of the Peruvian Armed
Forces: sword (upright, silver with golden handle) for the
Army, crossed anchors (silver) for the
Navy, and wings (golden) for the
Air Force, with a
golden sun over all; this is encircled in a wreath identical to the one in the
national coat of arms but with a scroll patterned
after the national flag (vertically, i.e., transversally), instead of a
ribbon tie, which reads «Ministerio de Defensa».

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a
2:3 white flag with red border surrounded with white (i.e. a red
orle), and in the middle a blue anchor and four yellow Suns, one in each
corner. This flag is similar to current
CinC-Navy. Neubecker gives constriction details, anchor dimensions
20×30 units, Suns’ diameter is 12 units, distance of Sun center from each
red border 12 units, red border width 6 units, white border 3 units. The
same dimensions apply for subsequent flags of this pattern.

Natn’l Geo.1917 [gmc17] shows
as #666 a square version of the (state) ensign —
vertical triband of red-white-red with the coat of arms in the middle of the
white stripe.
«Secretary of Navy» is the US equivalent title given to all nations in
the tables of [gmc17]; Minister of Navy or
something similar is more probable (maybe even Minister of
Navy and Air Trafic as in Flaggenbuch
[neu39] some 20 years latter).

Peruvian Armed Forces Joint Command (Comando Conjunto de las Fuerzas
Armadas): It is an interesting flag, of wich we knew other examples, also
in South America: the cloth is rectangular and not very stiff but the flag is
designed to be hoisted indoors, so the emblem is aligned to the descending
diagonal, from top hoist to bottom fly. This is a red flag with the
Joint Command emblem, which aptly joins the sword of the
Army, the cross anchors of the
Navy, wings for the Air Force
and the national coat of arms, under the name of the
entity in white capitals arched above it.

Jaume’s detail of the emblem, in an oval red background (apparently
some kind of plaque) with lettering, not simply as a flag detail, shows blue
sword (with green hilt!) and anchors, while his flag shows them in golden.

The Album 2000 [pay00] shows a
2:3 white flag with red border and in the middle the emblem of the Armed
Forces and four yellow Suns one in each corner. The emblem consists of the
shield of the national arms (i.e. no wreaths) superimposed on golden upright
sword, wings and two anchors. The border here is pictured about 1/8 of hoist,
as is for all subsequent flags of this pattern. This must be relatively recent
office, and therefore the flag too.

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a
2:3 white flag with red border surrounded with white (i.e. a red
orle), and in the middle a blue anchor and two yellow Suns, on top and
bottom hoist corners. This rank probably matches today the position of
the Chief of Naval Staff, but in the mean
time he got an aditional Sun…

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a
2:3 white flag with red orle as above with three Suns set horizontally
in along the middle. The distance between the sun’s centers is 21
units. I wander if Prefect of a Department
is military or civilian position? If it is civilian,
may be this flag or something similar is still used, but defined in some
other soruces currently not available to us. (Just guessing.)
