Navy flag afloat
This is the official pattern: I don't know if de facto is used with darker blue shade. The letters in the below part are different in each destination. Ratio 13:20.

Navy flag ashore
Navy flag on land: is the national one withsun in Ratio 9:14

This flag is that of the Batall�n de Infanter�a de Marina No. 3 (Infantry Battalion Number 3) of the A.R.A. (Armada Rep�blica Argentina, Argentine Republic Navy in English).

Navy jack
image by Jaume Oll�, 30 Jul 2000
Argentine Jack: the width of the border is 1/5 of the total length (not height). Dimensions are 1 and 1.14, according to the (argentine) Institute of Naval Studies.
Gustavo Tracchia, 15 Feb 2000
The argentine jack is a white square panel with a light blue border. Centered upon the white panel is the Sun of May with 32 straight and wavy rays alternating, in gold.
Paige Herring and Jarig Bakker, 11 Jan 1999
Pedersen [ped71] lists the Argentine jack as 50:57, not quite square.
Michael Smuda, 11 Jan 1999
The use of this flag as the flag of admirals not in command is mentioned in Album 2000(as well as in 1995 issue).

Dark blue version in actual use

The above is the official pattern, this is as it�s really used.

War Pennant
image by Ant�nio Martins, 01 Feb 2002
Blue-white-blue triangular pennant. The tri-coloured stripes are decreasing in width as reaching the fly end (so that in any vertical cut the relative width of the three stripes is equal). The pennant ratio as drawn in Album 2000 is 1:15 (but it is not written). This pennnat is surely in use for quite a while and probably mentioned already in [geo17] at least.

Pilot flag
Apparently, it seems that the flag is abandoned altogether, as there is no mention of such in_Album 2000_ [pay00].

Apparently at some later point the previous flag�scolours were reversed. The Album recapitulative issue of 1995 [pie95] shows the flag as light blue with white letter P (sans-serif).
