The last addition to
the set of the naval flags was made in 1975, by the order of the Commander
of the Fleet of 08 February 1975. Four flags were adopted, in which the
Soviet influence is still very obvious.

Ivanov (1998) recounts that the post-1975
regulations of the Navy are not available due to the confidentiality of the
documents. Once they are declassified, we may get some more data.
