Hi !

NOt sure if it is right right forum to ask here but I think I can find some help.
I've just completed a 1/350 USS Missouri, wearing measure 32 camo. Now I'd like to add signal flags to make the ship more colorful.
The pic I found in navsource looked interesting. The problem is I couldn't identiy all of them.



The pic showed the flags on the portside. I can see 5 rows which I assume flying 5 flags each. Could anyone help identify all the flag she was flying at that time? Should I put the flags on both side? same set of flags? What is the meaning of the signal?

I am interested most the flag No.3 of the row 1., the 2 bottom flags in row 2,3,4,5 (there are alomost totally obscured) and the top flag in row 5.

Thank you for every helps and comments

I don't know what the signal is, but the Naval History site says that she was on her shakedown cruise.

Here are a couple of sites you can learn a little about signaling.

Hi Darren,

Thank you for your advice.
I gave up the identification of all those flags. Instead, I'm thinking of making it looks close enough. I can't read it anyway or I must have US navy signal code!?

I'll try to mix some signal from the site you gave to the starboard too.
