Italian Navy, since 1947  Flag of the navy established by decree dated 9 November 1947 and raised for the first time the following 30. At the center appears the heraldic emblem of the weapon, which differs from the one on the merchant sign for the presence of the so-called "maritime" crown, turreted and rostrata, and for the coat of arms of Venice, with the lion armed with a sword, resting on the book closed and on the waves of the sea, and accompanied by three flames (or tulips) of uncertain significance. This emblem derives from a model proposed in 1939 and approved by the king in 1941, on which the shield of Savoy was superimposed between two bundles. With order form n. 52 of the General Staff of the Navy on December 26, 2012 improvements were made in the design of the emblem (and consequently of the flags) of the navy.
