German U-boats break the rules of the high seas?
Generally so, for sinking civilian vessels without warning (aka unrestricted sub warfare).
What is the difference between a flag and an ensign?
A flag flown at sea is known as an ensign. They can be Red, Blue or White. Civilian and Merchant vessels fly the Red Ensign, Navy Vessels fly either the Red, Blue of White depending on the rank of the Unit. Ensigns are used in cases where it is illegal to fly the National flag, such as at sea from a British ship.
What are non commissioned naval ships in wartime called?
Non-commissioned naval ships in wartime are often referred to as "auxiliary vessels" or "merchant navy ships." These vessels are typically civilian ships that are requisitioned by the navy for military use, such as transporting troops, supplies, or serving as support ships. They do not have the same level of combat capabilities as commissioned warships.
What is the most powerful ship?
That answer would probably depend on what you mean by "powerful". One could think of civilian vessels vs military, firepower vs Engine Power etc etc. Probably a nucleart Aircraft carrier would be considered "most powerful" - but definitely not "most useful"!
How did German u-boats change the rules of naval warfare in world war 1?
Well, sub captains couldn't be hanged for piracy on the high seas anymore. Illegal violence at sea is also considered piracy. Attacking unarmed civilian vessels used to be illegal; subs changed all that.

How many ships sailed in Dunkirk rescue?

Is submarine a sea transport?
As far as civilian submarines, technically no, as tourist submarines aren't actually transporting from point A to point B. For military submarines, absolutely. People using submarines as transport vessels are Special Forces (e.g., SEAL's), Navy research scientists (Polar Expeditions), and other individuals designated as required.
Can you get Into Navy OCS with a Bachelors of Fine Arts?
All you need is a 4-year degree - the Navy has so many jobs that correlate to the civilian world that just about everything is covered. Even musicians and artists.Of course it depends on what you want to do - Commissioned Line Officers (those who rise to command Naval vessels) typically have B.S. degrees in Engineering fields. But consider other fields as well - media, supply, medical, intelligence, etc. Pretty much anything you can get a job doing with your degree in the civilian world has a direct equal in the Navy, which is a big reason it's a great place for careers in either world.
Do you salute officers while crossing the ships brow?
If it is a commissioned U. S. Navy vessel and you are in uniform, at the top of the brow come to attention, face the Ensign (flag) located at the fantail or aft end of the ship and salute the Ensign. Then face and salute the Officer of the Deck on the Quarterdeck and "Request permission to come aboard Sir". If you are in civilian attire, at the top of the brow come to attention, face the Ensign (flag) located on the fantail or aft end of the ship. Then face the Office of the Deck on the Quarterdeck and "Request permission to come aboard Sir". I don't think civilian vessels stand on ceremony very much.
