im sure you could find something online

an old navy salt and ex BB 34 crewman had a WW2 era American flag that he said once sailed above the USS New York, he was offering it for sale.

listed Dimensions were somewhere on the order of 29ft in length

EDIT: i do agree... the flag in SHV needs to be not quite half the size they currently have it at

Letum · 02-05-10, 08:09 PM

The size and position (Aft!) in Mikhayl's photo would suit me.

but quibbling over flag realism in SHV is like complaining about wet socks on the Titanic.

I did a quick google search and found this:

That says 30 ft as well

They have probably made the flag so large to aid in ship ID whilst looking through a periscope??

For the influx of new players they are assuming will buy the simulation.

That would be awesome !! As long as my sharks with lazers on their frickin' heads can see color.

To get even more picky, that's the Rodney's camouflage scheme and not the Nelson's. But of course they're saying it's a Nelson class ship, so it's technically right.

But that flag is ridiculous.
