This is the flag that is hoisted on ships to mark the presence of
the Chief (positional flag, as distinct to car flag covered
previously).
The flag is square, Navy blue with white anchor in fly base and white
stars in canton. Number of stars depend of the rank of the officer
holding the position, and the possible number of stars in either 3
(Vice Admiral) or 2 (Division Admiral, comparable with rank of Rear
Admiral).
The car flag of the Chief of Staff of
the Navy is different.

The Belgian chief of naval staff is currently a rear admiral (divisie-admiraal or amiral de division). He can be seen, with his flag, on the Belgian Navy website.

The flag was changed in 1999. In the former flag, the anchor was placed in upper hoist.
