Flying pennants

I've seen lots of photos of U-boats returning home from patrol with their periscope extended and flying pennants representing the vessels they have sunk. Would such a thing be possible? I don't mean with different tonnage pennants for each cruise, but maybe a dummy periscope with flags attached which could be raised as you enter harbour. I sailed in with just my periscope raised today but it looked very plain.
