The Coast and Geodetic Survey was authorized a distinguishing flag, blue with a red triangle on a white disk, on January 16, 1899. The design was emblematic of the triangulation method used in surveying. The current NOAA service flag, normally displayed at the masthead of the forwardmost mast as a distinctive mark of a NOAA vessel in commission, was adapted from the Coast and Geodetic Survey flag by adding the NOAA emblem, a two-tone blue circle with the silhouette of a seabird in white, on the center. On single-masted vessels, the service flag flies immediately beneath the commission pennant or personal flag of a civilian official or flag officer. NOAA vessels display the national ensign and union jack in the same manner as those of the Navy and Coast Guard, and follow the movements of the senior Navy or Coast Guard vessel if present together in the same port.
