A naval commission pennant flag of the "Republic of China" (Taiwan); c. late
1940s. In this photo this pennant has "RCS TAI CHONG" written on it, also may
have been spelled as "Taicang". The Taicang was formerly the USS Bostwick until
it was purchased from the United States of America by the Republic of China Navy
(Kuomingtang , formerly Tongmenghui). Used during the Chinese civil war against
the Chinese Communist Party. When the nationalist Republic of China were
defeated, they fled to Taiwan aboard the Taicang.

The way the pennant was used and how the fly end is shredded, it is a (well
used) masthead pennant.
