I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this type of question but I believe "travel" seems the most suitable.

Could anyone please identify what flag this is? I looked up all the flags with the Union Jack but I couldn't find a flag matching this one.

This is the picture of the ship that I saw the flag on. Picture was taken in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's not about travel.

    I'm biased since I've answered but I've always thought identify this is on-topic here. We have identified plenty of buildings which are no more or less about travel. Interestingly you @JonathanReez have answered a recent one.

    @mts you can travel to a building/location. You can't travel to a flag.

    @mts: identify-this is a tag on the site. That does not mean "identify this is on topic". Basically questions about identifying this which constitute a problem encountered related to travel are on topic. But "identify this brand of truck tyre" would not be on topic. So yes we identify things, but that still leaves open to discussion the question of what things we identify, and under which circumstances. A flag of a company, promotion, brand, sports team would probably be off-topic. Geopolitical flags of various kinds might require more thought.

It is the blue ensign worn by the Canadian Navy from 1957 to 1965.

    Should the verb be worn? I would have said flown.

    @phoog Ships wear ensigns/flags. Flags are flown on land.

    @AndrewLeach I was afraid of that.
