Wouldn't it be more appropriate for ((navy|USA)) to display the Jack of the United States instead of the Flag of the United States? It would be consistant with all of the other nations displaying thier naval jack instead of thier national ensign. bahamut0013♠♣ 18:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
At present ((navy|Oman)) breaks, it needs to link to Royal Navy of Oman 86.31.47.149 (talk) 23:02, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Please add a hatnote with wiki link to Template:Navy (color).
Change this:
((country data (({1))} | country flagnavy | variant = (({variant|(({2|)))))) | size = (({size|))} | name = (({name|))} ))<noinclude>((documentation))</noinclude>
To this:
<noinclude>((For|the template that changes text color|Template:Navy (color)))</noinclude>((country data (({1))} | country flagnavy | variant = (({variant|(({2|)))))) | size = (({size|))} | name = (({name|))} ))<noinclude>((documentation))</noinclude>

The template needs altering to allow the Kaiserliche Marine to be linked. Mjroots (talk) 14:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
((navy|German Empire))
already does that. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 05:35, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Need templates for the pre-1994 South African Navy please. (See SAS President Kruger (F150) for examples) as this usage is incorrect. Socrates2008 (Talk) 11:08, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
((navy|South Africa|1952))
(or 1922, 1946, or 1981) to get the desired naval flag variant. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 16:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)((editprotected))
To somewhat revisit a point brought up a couple years ago by bahamut the US template simply displays the US Flag as it also happens to be the US Navy's ensign. The problem with this is that it constantly duplicates flags in military info boxes, doesn't serve the reader and runs contrary to the other service's templates and info box entries. The flags of the US Navy and the US Coast Guard are NOT their ensigns. The Navy's flag is shown here. All the other services (except the Coast Guard) use their actual flags. I understand the tizzy that WikiProject Ships got into over the years over jack vs ensign and settled on a consensus to use ensigns but this is outside the scope that project. It would be like WikiProject Aircraft dictating that the flag of the Department of the Air Force be it's Roundel on all templates. It just doesn't make much sense. Both the Coast Guard and Navy's template flags should be changed to their actual flags.TomPointTwo (talk) 22:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Is it possible to have a display so that clicking on the flag links to the article, without having to use the ((click)) workaround? - i.e. instead of Royal Navy, have it displayed as Royal Navy. Mjroots (talk) 06:00, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
How does one use this template for Royal Indian Navy ships? Mjroots (talk) 13:35, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

The French Navy used File:Flag of French-Navy-Revolution.svg as its flag from 1790-94. So, can someone please fix ((navy|France|1790)) so that it displays the correct flag? Mjroots (talk) 18:20, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
It seems as though ((navy|Italy)) should display as: Italian Navy, instead of the current Italian Navy, for two reasons: First, there is no page for Marine Militare, only a redirect to Italian Navy. It seems to me that templates should link to actual pages instead of redirects where possible. And second, other variations of this template use translated English-language names (as this is an English language wiki), not their endonymic ones, i.e.: French Navy (not Marine nationale) and Spanish Navy (not Armada Española).
Hi. Where should this template be used and not used? Is it meant specifically for ship infoboxes or is it for use in something like Infobox military person? Thanks Gbawden (talk) 11:21, 15 August 2012 (UTC) @Gbawden: - the template may be used for both, as well as in ship-related lists. Mjroots (talk) 09:06, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Can you please update the Egyptian Navy Template to this file instead of the unofficial one?

G'day, what is the size in px of the flagicon this template generates? Thanks, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 02:36, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello this flagicon listed for Royal Navy is only for the period from 1620 and for the Navy Royal not the Royal Navy established in that name in (1660) and it was only used for the White Squadron of the English Navy From 1485 until 1603 these were the ensigns in use (this was the main one) but also these other two naval ensigns were used — — confirmed by this source and an explanation of the flags on Plate IX Numbers three, four and five here
From 1625 to 1707 the English Navy had three ensigns these White Squadron and Red Squadron and finally Blue Squadron again confirmed in William Gordon Perrin's book here numbers ten, eleven and twelve were later used by the Royal Navy from 1660. You can see the devlopment of Naval ensigns from 1707 until 1799 here History of British Naval Ensigns (Great Britain) Ideally we need flagicons making for these because they are used in military persons infoboxes for the periods in question and using the wrong ensign for any officer prior to 1620 and I don't know how you make them that need correctly adding to Template:Country data England.--Navops47 (talk) 10:04, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
I'm new to the template thing. How come all the navies are no longer named correctly. For example the Royal Canadian Navy is now called Canada Navy and the Italian Royal Navy (Regia Marina) or the Italian Navy (Marina Militare) are both called Italy Navy? Thanks to those who answer. I am completely befuddled. Llammakey (talk) 13:50, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Please see the centralized discussion at WT:WikiProject Flag Template#Template:Navy doesn't display navy flag as the documentation says it's supposed to to find out why these had to be broken and how they were easily fixed. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 21:32, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Pages that use Royal Navy display the correct naval ensign but then display “United Kingdom Navy”, which doesn’t exist. It should display “Royal Navy”. 148.252.128.138 (talk) 00:44, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
It appears that File:Naval ensign of Canada; Naval jack of Canada (1968–2013).svg does not exist; can someone please fix it? Thank you. — Eric0892 (talk) 00:54, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
