Usage

Produces a larger flag icon, suitable for an image in the |Ship flag= parameter of {{Infobox Ship Career}}.

Syntax

{{shipboxflag|nation|variant}}

Parameters

• |nation= – Use either the name of the nation or the three-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code. Be sure that the country name is appropriate for the specific dates, by checking Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Ensigns.
• |variant= (optional) – Specifies the flag to use. This parameter is documented by the appropriate template in Category:Country data templates. For many countries, setting this field to naval parameter will select the naval ensign, but for civil ships, this parameter may be omitted.

• {{shipboxflag|United Kingdom|civil}} → 100x35px
• {{shipboxflag|Kingdom of Great Britain|naval}} → 100x35px
• {{shipboxflag|Kingdom of Great Britain|civil}} → 100x35px
• {{shipboxflag|United States}} → 100x35px (with no variant parameter specified, the standard national flag is used, which is also the naval ensign for some countries)
• {{shipboxflag|United States|coast guard}} → 100x35px
