Default Positioning Of US Flag On WW 2 Subs

I've been wondering about this lately (I guess I have nothing else to do) about where on a US submarine was the US flag flown. In SH4 the flag is at the stern of the submarines. I've spent some time looking at pictures of the uS subs in WW II and the flag is always flown of the rear end of the conning tower or behind the periscope shears. Does anybody know where it was flown? I remember in the movie Run Silent, Run Deep the flag was positioned at the rear of the conning tower (sorry don't know the technical name). Below are some examples of what I've found.

USS Seawolf



USS Tambor



USS Wahoo
