The Ethiopian Imperial Naval Rank flags were adopted in 1956 when
Ethiopia established its own
navy. The flags became obsolete in 1975 following the abolition of the
Monarchy. Ethiopia lost its coastline when Eritrea broke away
in 1993 and the fleet of naval vessels was taken over by the Eritrean
government. Eritrea did not maintain the navy and sold all the naval
vessels to foreign buyers.
