I have just spoken with the Uruguayan embassy, and a secretary spoke
with the naval attaché, and confirmed that their “navy flag” is white
with a blue diagonal cross and their sun-symbol at the crossing.
John Ayer, 10 Feb 1998
The somewhat recently readopted jack is a white saltire with the sun of
Uruguay in the center. This flag replaces the majestic
Artigas banner of
Uruguayan history; however, this jack has a history with the Uruguayan
Navy. Gordon [gor24] describes this flag as
«practically the Russian ensign with a sun in the center». Therefore, this
apparently new design is merely a return to quite possibly the
original jack.

The sun in the Uruguayan jack is not the same as that used on the
national flag, it is more circular shaped.

Perhaps the reversion is motived by the adoption, in the near argentine
province of Entre Ríos, of a flag in the same pattern
as the [old] Uruguayan Jack.

I do not know when Uruguay changed her jack,
but I can tell you why: because the
Tupamaros used the
Artigas flag as their symbol.
Juan Morales, 08 Jun 1998
I think that the new reported Urguayan Jack is the
same that appear in Flaggenbuch 1905 [ruh05]
but is little different: The centre of the diagonal cross is white and then
the four arms don’t touch the sun. I assume that the 3:4 is the correct
ratio.
Jaume Ollé, 15 Feb 1998
These images show the naval jack, as of 1905, in use in ships: in
a painting and in a black and white
photo. The ratio looks more like
2:3...

The General Inspector of the Navy has a white flag with a blue anchor set
towards the hoist and a blue star set towards the fly.
