Serapis flag Serapis is a name given to an unconventional , early United States ensign flown from the captured British frigate " Serapis " . At the 1779 Battle of Flamborough Head , U . S . Navy Captain John Paul Jones captured the " Serapis " , but his own ship , the " Bonhomme Richard " sank , and her ensign had been blown from the mast into the sea during the battle . Jones , now commanding the " Serapis " without an ensign , sailed to the island port of Texel , which was run by the neutral Dutch United Provinces . Officials from the United Kingdom argued that Jones was a pirate , since he sailed a captured vessel flying no known national ensign . A year earlier , Arthur Lee , American commissioner in France , wrote in a letter to Henry Laurens that the U . S . ships ' " colors should be white , red , and blue alternately to thirteen " with a " blue field with thirteen stars " in the canton . Benjamin Franklin and John Adams , ambassadors to France , wrote a similar description of United States flags : Apparently based upon this description , a recognizable ensign was quickly made to fly aboard the " Serapis , " and Dutch records edited to include a sketch of the ensign to make it official . The Dutch could , therefore , recognize the flag and avoid the legal controversy of Jones ' captured ship . The Dutch records survive and provide us with the original sketch of the ensign . The sketch is labeled " Serapis " and dated 5 October 1779 , just one day after the Francis Hopkinson style flag , labeled " Alliance " ( a ship in Jones ' fleet ) , was entered . There are five known illustrations of American flags with tri - color stripes . Tri - colored stripes appeared in various European almanacs into the 19th century , featuring stars with 4 , 5 , or 6 points and arranged in various patterns . The Serapis flag is distinctive because of the four , irregularly placed blue stripes and 8 - pointed stars . Although it was flown as a U . S . Ensign and was recognized as such by a foreign nation , it did not meet the Congressional description of U . S . flags under the Flag Resolution of 1777 , which specified " alternate red and white " stripes . The Serapis flag is also known as the " Franklin flag " due to the description given by Ambassador Franklin . It was featured on a 33¢ postage stamp issued in 2000 , as a part of the U . S . Postal Service ' s " Stars and Stripes " series . The stamp was titled " John Paul Jones flag . " This flag , along with the First Navy Jack , is featured on the crest of the . In spite of — or because of — its variation from more standard U . S . " Stars and Stripes " flags , the Serapis design remains popular among historic U . S . flag displays , and is offered by many flag vendors .

76 mm divisional gun M1902 / 30 76 mm divisional gun M1902 / 30 ( ) was a Soviet modernized version of the Russian World War I 76 mm divisional gun M1902 , employed in the early stages of the German - Soviet War . Development history . The M1902 gun was the mainstay of Russian Empire artillery ; as such it was extensively used in World War I and the Russian Civil War and remained in service in former parts of the Russian Empire ( Soviet Union , Poland , Finland ) . It was also adopted by some other countries ( Romania , Turkey ) . By 1928 , the M1902 formed the bulk of the Red Army ' s 2 , 500 artillery pieces . The M1902 had some reserves for enhancing its firepower . In 1927 - 1930 more than 20 modernized pieces were tried out . In the end it was decided to adopt the a gun developed at the Perm Plant , by a team headed by E . N . Sidorenko . The result of this modernization was a semi - new gun with drastically improved performance . This modernization included lengthening the barrel from 30 to 40 calibers , making a hole in the single trail carriage to allow a larger elevation angle , installing a balancing mechanism and adding a new panoramic sight . As a result of such enhancements the muzzle velocity reached 662 m / s , the elevation angle was increased from 17 to 37 degrees and the maximal range was increased from 8 , 500 to 13 , 290 m . From 1931 only new L40 barrels were produced . In the mid - 1930s a new 6 . 3 kg armour - piercing round was introduced , giving the M1930 gun the ability to penetrate 56 mm armour at 500 m under 30 degrees meet angle from normal direction and 49 mm armour at a distance of 1 , 000 m under the same conditions . Direct fire distance was 820 m at 2 m target height . The modernized M1930 gun could easily dispatch any tank of 1930s , including the new French vehicles Somua S35 and B1 bis . However the modernization did not address the low mobility and small traverse angle of the gun due to its remaining single trail carriage without suspension . Maximal , horse - drawn , transport speed was only 6 – 7 km / h . This limited the anti - tank effectiveness of the M1902 / 30 and essentially rendered the gun obsolete in swift and maneuver warfare , so it was phased out of production in 1937 when the new divisional gun , the F - 22 , was adopted . Service . By 1 June 1941 the RKKA possessed 2 , 066 M1902 and 2 , 411 M1902 / 30 guns . In the beginning of the German - Soviet War these guns were gradually replaced by more advanced F - 22 , F - 22USV and ZiS - 3 76 mm divisional guns . Guns withdrawn from front - line service were transferred to the artillery regiments of riflemen divisions in rear military districts of the Soviet Union until they were finally replaced by ZiS - 3 .
