The livery also appears under Continental Line Transport Ferry Service. Sources disagree over whether the flag has edging at the top and bottom or only at the fly. The fly treatment ranges from a deep triangle to straight edging; US Navy’s A766 is untapered with the triangle extending throughout. Brown 1971 shows less blue in the tail. FOTW and Talbot-Booth use light blue. The National Maritime Museum’s A444 flag, dated about 1955 and measuring 660 by 1524 mm, has very narrow top and bottom borders. The funnel band is described as broad and shown so by Mitchell, though other sources and his own line drawings make it more moderate.

The commodore’s flag repeats a miniature of the normal flag in its canton. Sources again differ over top and bottom edging, and their dates overlap, so Rosanoski finds no basis for a chronological change. Most sources show only the “bluebird” in the tail.
