How do you dress a ship with flags and on what oc?
Signal code flags are flown (dressing ship) on National Holidays, at regattas and other special occasions. There is a prescribed order in which the signal flags are to be flown, beginning at the bow rail, up to the masthead (truck) and then down to the stern. (Sailboats or ships with a mast). AB2, Uj1, KE3, GH6, IV5, FL4, DM7, PO Third Repeater, RN First Repeater, ST0 (zero) CX9, WQ8, ZY Second Repeater. And don't forget the Yacht Ensign or American flag at the stern. This is taken directly from Chapmans. Hope this helps.
