Jack of the United States The jack of the United States of America is a maritime flag representing United States nationality flown on the jackstaff in the bow of American vessels . The U . S . Navy is a prime user of jacks , but they are also used by ships of the U . S . Coast Guard , Military Sealift Command , National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , and other governmental entities . " The jack is flown on the bow ( front ) of a ship and the ensign is flown on the stern ( rear ) of a ship when anchored or moored . Once under way , the ensign is flown from the main mast . " History . The primary jack design until September 11 , 2002 was the blue canton with stars ( the " union " ) from the U . S . national ensign . Since September 2002 , the U . S . Navy has made use of the so - called First Navy Jack . However , the standard U . S . jack ( i . e . , 50 white stars on a blue field ) continues to be used as the jack by vessels of the U . S . Coast Guard , the Military Sealift Command , and NOAA , to name but a few federal agencies . The standard 50 - star jack continues to be used by U . S . civilian ships and by U . S . yachts as well . The blue , starred jack is referred to as the Union Jack , not to be confused with the British Union Jack of the same name . Like the ensign , the number of stars on the jack has increased with each state admitted into the union . Rules for flying the jack are similar to the national ensign , except that the jack is only worn at the bow when the ship is anchored , made fast or alongside . Since September 11 , 2002 , the U . S . Navy has instead flown the " First Navy Jack " , a flag bearing 13 red and white stripes , a rattlesnake and the motto " DONT TREAD ON ME " [ " sic " ] , coming from the first jacks supposedly used by the U . S . Navy during the Revolutionary War . It is flown from the jackstaff from 08 : 00 to sunset while U . S . Navy ships are moored or at anchor . It is required to be the same size as the union of the ensign being flown from the stern of the ship . It is also flown from the yardarm during a general court - martial or court of inquiry . During times when the ensign is at half mast , the jack is also at half mast . The jack is hoisted smartly and lowered ceremoniously in the same manner as the ensign , however the jack is not dipped when the ensign is dipped . Some exceptions to the use of the Union Jack have occurred in the case of the U . S . Navy , the most prominent being the use of the First Navy Jack by the U . S . Navy in honor of the country ' s Bicentennial and subsequently . On June 3 , 1999 , the Secretary of the Navy authorized the flying of the Submarine Centennial Jack aboard U . S . Navy submarines and sub tenders during the year 2000 .
