What is the Jack staff on a navy ship?
The jack staff on a Navy vessel is essentially a flag pole on the bow of vessel. Unlike the National Ensign (country flag) which flies on the stern flag staff of most ships (on the bridge while underway surfaced on a submarine), the jack staff flies a flag literally called a Jack. Over the years of Navy history, there have been many Navy Jacks flown from the Jack Staff; the current Jack ("Don't Tread On Me" flag) was ordered flown after the 9/11 attacks, replacing the traditional Jack, which was the field of blue with 50 stars (modern), or in years past, a field of blue with stars for every state in the Union. It is this flag from which the term "Union Jack" comes from.

'How many countries are represented by the British Union Jack'?
In current day, there is no such thing as the "British Union Jack".The flag in question is the Union Flag which is the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK for short). So the answer to how many countries it represents is four, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Island.However, the Union Flag itself is made up of three flags, as follows.St George's Cross (England) a centered red cross on a White FieldSt Andrew's Cross (Scotland) a White Saltire (a crux decussate or X-shaped cross) in a Blue FieldSt Patrick's Cross (Ireland) Red Saltire (a crux decussate or X-shaped cross) in a White FieldThis flag dates back to the Union of Great Britain and Ireland from 1801.The flag has mistakenly been called the Union Jack for many years; however, this has been tolerated and will probably never change.The only time the Union flag should be called the Union Jack is when it is being flown from the Jack staff of a ship (The flagpole at the bow of a ship). In which case, any flag flown from a Jack Staff is referred to as a Jack.Originally it was just England, Scotland and Wales. The cross of St George (England) over the Cross of St Andrew also known as the Saltire (Scotland), and the cross of St David (Wales) - then in 1801 the Saint Patrick's Saltire (Ireland) was added to make up the current flag.

What did the British flag look like during the American Revolution?
The modern British flag consists of three crosses, one verticle one representing England, and two diagonal ones (St. Andrew's cross) representing Scotland and (St Patrick's cross) representing Ireland.Ireland was not incorporated into the United Kingdom until the Act of Union in 1801, so the British flag before that date lacked that cross.The British flag, correctly called the union flag, but also known as the union jack, consists of the flag of England-a red plus cross on a white background,(the flag of St George) The flag of Ireland-a red multiplication, or saltire cross on a white background,(the flag of St Patrick) The flag of Scotland-a white multiplication cross on a blue background. The flag of of Wales, a red dragon on a green and white background was not incorporated into the design.When the 3 flags are incorporated, Scotland is overlayed by Ireland which is then overlayed by England this produces the union flag. The jack that is sometimes mentioned is the pole that the flag fly's from - ( the jack-staff) If you look closely at a union flag it is possible to identify the three crosses layed on top of each other.MoreThe Flag flown by the British in the American Revolution is not the Union Jack it shares many of the same qualities but the Union Jack did not come around until 1801. The pre 1801 Union flag is shown below on the link and would not have had the red St Patrick's cross included in it at the time. It is only called a Union Jack when flown on a ship but the term has entered popular culture. The red cross of St. George represented both England and Wales which were considered a single State and Kingdom.MoreI would just add that there were also many types of flags flown. Naval Units would hoist a different flag than land forces and we must not forget regimental flags. It was not uncommon for different regiments (units) to have their own flag in addition to the National flag.
