The Navy's presidential flag from 1882, the year it was designed. This was the first official flag specifically for the president; the basic design was the Great Seal of the United States on a blue field (several other nations used the national coat of arms on the flag of their head of state). It was not a completely faithful Great Seal; the eagle is in all white and thirteen stars in an arc were used instead of the regular crest. The Army had their own presidential flag starting in 1898, and both were replaced in 1916.
This flag image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “US Presidential Flag Navy 1882.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.
