Identification and specification limits
FeatureDescriptionEvidence status
DesignationNumeral pennant 3Identified in the official chart.
ColoursRed, white and blueColour names identify the design; no physical colour standard is established here.
FormPennantIdentification only; no measured construction drawing verified.
Proportions and panel geometryNot specified in this recordNo exact dimensions or panel fractions inferred from artwork.

Construction and reproduction

The official identification chart is not treated here as a verified manufacturing specification. An exact ratio, taper, panel division, seam allowance or textile colour requires an applicable construction standard.

No common manufacturing ratio has been verified. Screen colours would be display approximations, and any newly drawn geometry would be an editorial reconstruction unless checked against a documented standard. No such reconstruction is supplied.

Historical and source limits

This record identifies the pennant in the Coast Guard-hosted reference chart. It does not establish when this individual design first became numeral Three or document earlier uses. No adoption date or historical period is assigned.

The chart’s indexed content was available for identification, but direct PDF retrieval was unsuccessful during review. Exact geometry and document revision details have therefore not been independently inspected.
