Implementation notes

By default, this template shows the standard national flag for the selected country, following by a wikilink to "Template:Varserif Navy". Both of these items can be changed by adding specific parameters to the appropriate country_data template (complete set found in Category:Country data templates).

To use a different flag, such as the naval ensign for the nation, use:

|flag alias-naval=image name of naval ensign

To use a different name for the wikilinked navy article, use:

|link alias-naval=article name
