ensign

The secretary said the two ensigns, who only just graduated last year, were aboard the Navy destroyer and “helped defend the freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.”

Finally, I happened to meet a lady Navy ensign one morning and now we, who are both retired Navy, will celebrate our 50th in December.

Earlier, while visiting the port of Busan, the Japanese vessel had flown a “Rising Sun” ensign.

“It reminds me of the higher purpose everybody has when they join the military,” the ensign recalled.

He was a Flag Officer and went without food or drink for the whole day as he held the naval white ensign.
