History:

The origins of the US Coast Guard Standard are somewhat unclear. It may have evolved from an early jack and according to the United States Coast Guard's historians office this was displayed in an 1840's painting of a Coast Guard cutter named Alexander Hamilton. The U.S. Coast Guard standard from 1917 was a white flag with a blue eagle and 13 stars in a semi-circle surrounding it.

In 1950, the semi-circle was changed to a circle containing the 13 stars. This Coast Guard standard is then adorned by 34 battle streamers and is the flag of the Coast Guard that is used in parades and other military or governmental functions.

It is important to understand that there are two official United States Coast Guard flags. These flags are the Coast Guard standard and the Coast Guard ensign.
