The US flag was supposed to be painted that way for neutrality markings, with the blue field oriented towards the bow and the stripes terminating astern. In practice, American vessels had the flags painted facing in both directions, regardless of the rules. If you take a look at the pictures below, "Comol Rico" is violating the rules, while "Almeria Lykes" has her flags oriented correctly.
