Military navy flags are hoisted on the naval warfare force, merchant navy flags, instead, are hoisted on the civil naval fleet of a country, which is composed by vessels engaged in commerce and transportation of goods, serving also as military auxiliary in time of war. 
As regards the rules for flags usage during navigation, usually, on military vessels, the flag should be exposed also at night and it has to be maintained well visible; in case of merchant vessels navigating nearby the coast, it is recommended that the flag is always showing. Flags are also exhibited every time one encounters another boat, in order to inform each other about the respective nationality. When mooring or leaving a harbor, regardless of time of day, it is required to show the flag.
