The 50-star jack was ordered to be re-adopted by commissioned U.S. Navy warships on February 21, 2019, effective June 4, 2019, to coincide with anniversary of the Battle of Midway. From August 18, 1980, onward, the active commissioned ship having the longest total period as active uses the First Navy Jack instead.[11] Currently that ship is USS Blue Ridge (LCC-19).

The 48 star version of the Union Jack flag became official in 1912 after Arizona and New Mexico became states. Throughout WWI and WWII, and until 1959 the Union Jack flag consisted of 48 stars.

A "48-star jack" refers to the U.S. Navy Union Jack with 48 stars, used when the U.S. had 48 states (1912-1959), featuring white stars on a blue field, flown at a ship's bow when anchored, representing states like Arizona and New Mexico, and symbolizing American history through WWI, WWII, and Korea.
