 * Parameters

 * variant (optional) – Specifies an alternate (historical) naval flag to use.  This parameter is documented by the appropriate template in Category:Country data templates.  Note that the standard behaviour of this template is to use the &#x3c;code&#x3e;naval&#x3c;/code&#x3e; variant if present, so there is no need to specify this variant in the template call.

 * name (optional) – Can be used to change the wikilink display text

Related templates
The flagicon template can be used to display the naval flag by itself, using the naval variant as a template parameter:
 * → 🇨🇳
 * → 🇯🇵
 * → 🇯🇵

Implementation notes
By default, this template shows the standard national flag for the selected country, following by a wikilink to " Navy". Both of these items can be changed by adding specific parameters to the appropriate country_data template (complete set found in ).

To use a different flag, such as the naval ensign for the nation, use:
 * image name of naval ensign

To use a different name for the wikilinked navy article, use:
 * article name
