Quick answer

November represents the letter N. Its blue-and-white chequered flag means “No (negative)” when used as a single-letter International Code signal. The Singapore government’s signal chart lists both the flag and its meaning.

Construction and artwork limits

The cited government chart supports identification, but is not treated here as a dimensioned manufacturing drawing. Exact geometry and proportions must not be inferred by measuring its artwork. Common manufacturing practice has not been independently established for this record.

A screen rendering would be an approximation unless supported by a separately documented colour specification. An editorial reconstruction would also need to be labelled as such.

Historical context

Singapore’s 2025 chart is headed International Code of Signals (1969); that heading does not establish when November’s flag design originated. The US Naval History and Heritage Command’s phonetic-alphabet comparison places “November” in its 1957–present column. That is evidence about the spelling word, not a flag-design adoption date.
