What connection does the meaning of 'Jack' have with flags?

The connection between the flag (also known as the ensign onboard naval ships) and the jack is this: Until after Sept. 11, 2001, the jack for the US Navy was the blue star field of the national ensign. Post 9-11 it became the "Don't tread on me" flag made famous during the American Revolution. The ensign is flown from ALL comissioned vessels in the US Navy (USS) and on United States Naval Ships (USNS) when at berth or anchor at the stern of the ship. When the vessel is underway it is flown from the mast. The jack is flown from the jackstaff on the fore of the ship, but only when it is at anchor or berth.
