      @Patsy: It's not M, it's MIKE as part of the international phonetic alphabet used on signal hoists.

      Patsy, "M for Muffy" works quite well for most of us.

    I know it's a nautical flag, but I always think of Scotland! The St. Andrews flag. Perhaps there is a connection. Must check it out.

    The flag shown is the MIKE flag. When I was at USN OCS my company was OSCAR Company. The OSCAR flag flown alone is the universal symbol for a "man overboard."

    When the swallow tailed red BRAVO flag is flown alone, it means the ship is taking on fuel or other hazardous & flammable cargo. That means no smoking anywhere on the ship.

    This post led me to read about all of this in Wikipedia. It's very interesting stuff to a land lubber like me.
