How went flags in WWII battleships?

[ysi_maniac]

I mean
Nacional flag, Navy flag, Commander flag, ...
Bow, Stern, Top mast, ...
Combat, Peace, Foreign harbour or waters, ...

Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

There are quite strict rules of etiquette about this Carlos, but I've no idea what they are I'm afraid.

This may help a bit though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_flag

It's a science all in itself, which is why all navies have Yeomen of Signals or their equivalent.
