A square
national tricolour with with a white letter M in the middle of the blue stripe.
According to Calvin Paige Herring a similar flag was used during the royal era
(since the mid-19th century?) with minor differences in the rendering of the
letter M. It was dropped in 1952, but it is not clear what was used until 1965
when a "white ensign" with a red star was adopted. The M flag was readopted in
early 1990s, now with a somewhat different letter. If
Flaggenbuch (1939) and
Album des Pavillons (2000) both have valid
representations of the letter prescribed, the difference is in width of the
lines (1939 is "fatter"). Also in Flaggenbuch the central lower point of the
letter reaches almost (but not quite) to the base of the letter, while in Album
it reaches only about the half way down. Flaggenbuch has this
point "sharp" (i.e. triangular) and Album has it horizontally "cut off". Of
course, either of the two sources might not be very precise about these details,
and after all, if may well be that such "minor" differences were never
explicitly prescribed and are quite probably ignored in practice.

A square
national tricolour with with four white five-pointed stars one above other in
the blue stripe. The flag appears to be from the 1990s, too. Pre-WWII Romanian
flags did not "reach" a four-star pattern, while it appears that no such flags
were used in Communist period.

A light blue
flag with the national flag in the canton, a diagonally set black-outlined
anchor in the fly upper quarter and yellow five-pointed stars in a
horizontal line in the lower half (somewhat off-set to the fly). This and
subsequent light blue flags were adopted after 1990. Pre WWII flags for
these positions were adopted only on the eve of the War, and were abandoned
after it. No adequate counterparts from the communist period were reported (or I
am not aware of them, at least).

This rank position is not mentioned in the current regulations.

A triangular
light blue flag with the national tricolour near the hoist in the central part
and in the fly a black anchor, set vertically. Apparently the width of
the anchor relative to its height is greater than it is in the previous set of
flags where the anchor is oblique.
