Description of the flag

Fairlead Integrated is a veteran-owned US naval defense contracting company headquartered in Portsmouth, Virginia. Originally founded in 1984 as Earl Industries, the company was purchased by General Dynamics in 2012, when it was merged with other General Dynamics holdings to create Miller IMG. Two years later, the name was changed again to Fairlead Integrated. The company operates in Portsmouth, Virginia, adjacent to the cities of Norfolk and Newport News and near Hampton Roads, providing ship repair and dockyard services to the United States Navy.

On a recent visit to Portsmouth, I saw the Fairlead corporate flag flying along with the American flag outside one of the company's construction halls. The flag features the company's logo in dark blue centered on a white field. The logo shows a fairlead, a device aboard ships to guide lines, ropes, or cables around objects on the deck, with the name "FAIRLEAD" in capital letters beneath the device.
