An ensign is a maritime flag that is used for the national identification of a ship. [1] It is the largest flag and is generally flown at the stern (rear) of the ship while in port. Depending on the ship's origin, it may sometimes be identical with a jack on the bow of the ship when in a port. More @Wikipedia
