Here's an easy contest for you Navy guys...There's 2 parts, and the first with both correct answers gets the 5-pack of cigars.

1. Name the ship

2. What do the flags say?

Name of ship: Ship #41

Flags say: Send more cigars...

Thanks for the contest Shovelgrrrl...heh..heh...

the uss midway

flags mean friendly??

USS Midway (CV-41)

Flags:

Alfa, Bravo, Charlie Echo, Oscar, Victor, Second substitute, Hotel, Foxtrot,

1. USS Midway.

2. Trick question. Flags don't "say" anything, as they are inanimate objects.

WHEW-HEW! what do i win?

Do flags talk. I didn't thing they were saying anything. (DOH)

That is obviously LPD-21 USS New York.

The flags are anomalies!

Thank you Alex, I'll take "I have a Hard On" for forty thousand.

I figured at least one person would point out that flags don't "say" anything....it's not exactly shocking who said it, either. Nevertheless, the flags "spell out" something, it's a little tricky because the photo is from the back, so as you're looking at the photo, the flags should be read from the right side and down, then the left side and down. If somebody needs a better quality photo, you can e-mail me at abqbetty at gmail dot com and I'll send it to you.

CV-41 USS Midway

flags read "of the brave"

USS Midway

"Honor the Legend"

US Midway...

Flags say : China uses 12 year old girls on their gymnastic team

USS Midway

flags say

"if you can read this your too close"

or

"if you can read this the bit*h fell off"

^ xddco I think has it right.

USS Midway

"of the brave"

We Shall Never Forget

Well, I was going to guess the flags meant different types of fish caught. For serious answers, just what I can see (some are impossible to see due to shadows and folds),

1. USS Midway.

2. Red and yellow diagonal, man overboard. The white and blue appears to be the signal that the ship has a diver below the surface, approach with caution. Half white, half red means I have a pilot on board. white with red X indicates I need assistance. white with red diamond indicates I am disabled, communicate with me. The other red and yellow might indicate I'm dragging anchor...can't see if it's striped. Blue over red indicates I'm steering towards starboard, course change. Can't read the other whie and red, could indicate approaching danger.

And of course, the red white and blue...thirteen stripes signifying the original colonies, 50 stars indicating present day 50 states.

I would have assume the flags represent the countries that this ship has directly taken out... ie blown up... but we can only hope for world dominance...

yep, xddco has it.

But I can read the flags on the other side of the ship. They read "Home."

thats not fair, there were no hints before my guess. Damn it lol

Flags read, "Honor the Legend"

I agree with Bucky, xddco has it and the other side starts with the 'H' visible over the 4 so 'Home of the Brave' makes sense! And it's definitely the USS Midway now located in San Diego.
