President Nasser's flag

image by Victor Lomantsov, 20 June 2024

The presidential (naval) flag of Gamal Abdel Nasser Hussein (president of Egypt 1956-70) which was hoisted on a navy ship in 1958 during his visit to the USSR. The flag now is in the keeping of the Central Navy Museum in St-Petersburg, Russia.

The inscription around the disc is: الجمعهوري العربية المحمدة (al-Jumhūriyya al-ʿArabiyya al-Muttaḥida), United Arab Republic.

Minister of Defence

Blue flag with naval ensign in canton and the same two crossed white anchors within a white ring in the fly. Proportion is 1:2.
The height of the national flag in canton appears to be 1/3 of the hoist, the canton flag itself retaining the 2:3 ratio of the naval ensign - this later apparently being characteristic of all cantons in Egyptian flags.
