Flag of "Centrobalt" (1917-1918).

Centrobalt is an abbreviation of Central Commettee of Baltic Fleet, for which the letters CKBF also stand.

The letters SFRR are for "Svobodniy Flot Rossiiskoy Respubliki", Free Fleet of the Russian Republic.
Norman Martin, 13 Mar 1999

The initials SFRR are made in very artistic way (like a proper cyfer should be, I guess) and it is not easy to represent them from a small image in the source site. What I have made is a sketch representing the position of these letters, and not necesserily the exact shape.
Zeljko Heimer, 07 Dec 1999

I guess that this flag was made by applying red letters to existing flags of the fleet commander (1899-1917).

Incorrect version

The flag of Military-operational division of Centrobalt (1917-1918) is not red [as shown on 07 Mar 1999 at Flag-znamya korablya, Russian Navy website]. It is white in fact.
