"Don't Tread on Me" Jack
Artwork prepared by the Naval Sea Systems Command, depicting
the 1975 version, patterned after the original Navy Jack, first
hoisted 3 December 1775.
This flag was authorized to be flown from the jackstaffs of U.S.
Navy ships while tied up in port, from 13 October 1975 until
31 December 1976, in commemoration of the Bicentennial of the
United States. Subsequently, it has been flown as the Jack of
the Navy's oldest ship in regular commission.
