This flag rendering is based on the National Maritime Museum example, with the recorded image proportions about 473 to 216.
Loughran dates S289 to 1 July 1963: a white flag with a broad red vertical band bearing the yellow shell. In June 1972 the shell became more stylised. The text says seven flutings but the drawing shows eight, confirmed by funnel photographs. Pryce instead dates S568 to 1962–1972. Rosanoski retains the competing chronology.
Conus was seen leaving Geelong in May 1998 with a plain buff funnel and black top, ending the red funnel with yellow shell; the whole fleet was to follow. This returned to the pre-1945 Anglo-Saxon and La Corona colours.
