Ceremonial ensign (above left) and battle ensign (above right) of the Coast Guard

The Coast Guard ensign is similar to the ensign of the Russian Coast Guard, but with the order of the colours rearranged.
The Coast Guard flag is in 2 X 3 proportions. In the center of the blue field is a white saltire (St. Andrew's cross, for the patron saint of sailors), whose width is 1/5 of the flag's hoist. A green (the Border Poilce's colour) fimbriation, whose width is 1/5 the white cross' width is separated from the white cross by the same distance. The flag is charged in the center with the emblem of the Border Police. The battle flag (photo) has no emblem.

The naval ensign of Georgia is a white flag with a blue rising diagonal stripe, a golden sun emblem in upper hoist and a black anchor in lower fly (Album des Pavillons [pay00]).
This ensign was recently adopted (1997?). I would guess that after the independence the Soviet naval ensign was retained at least for some time, and probably the national flag was used as the ensign for some period, too. The blue diagonal is a clear reminiscence of the blue used in Soviet naval ensigns.

The flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy is similar to the naval ensign, but its lower triangle is horizontally divided black-white-dark red (Album des Pavillons [pay00]).
