Appropriately set against a navy blue field, the circular graphic in the center of the flag features the same four elements that every Navy seal has included since the modern department of the Navy was founded in 1798. These four elements are the sea, a ship under sail, an eagle, and an anchor. One main distinction between the seal and the flag’s design is that the seal of the Department of the Navy includes sea and shoreline to also represent the navy’s land-based operations.  A yellow scroll inscribed with “United States Navy” resides below the circular graphic. Finally, the flag’s free edges are fringed in yellow.
