Naval Ensign of India.svg
The ensign consists of the Indian national flag on the upper canton, a blue octagon encasing the national emblem atop an anchor to depict steadfastness, superimposed on a shield with the Navy’s motto “Śaṁ No Varunaḥ” (a Vedic mantra invoking the god of seas to be auspicious) in Devanagari. The octagon represents the eight directions and has been included as a symbol of the Navy’s “multidirectional reach and multidimensional operational capability”. The golden borders of the octagon have been inspired by the seal of Maratha Emperor Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

HMS Colossus (R15) off Shanghai 1945.jpg
Aerial starboard side view of the Royal Navy light fleet carrier HMS Colossus (R15) taken off Wusong, Shanghai, China, circa September 1945. Two Fairey Barracuda torpedo bombers from 827 Naval Air Squadron are parked at the forward end of the flight deck. The aerial on the stump mast is a Type 281b air search radar. Note the odd camouflage pattern which appears to be a modification of the admiralty standard scheme.
