I thought an Ensign was a naval rank.
Like Ensign Wesley Crusher in Star Trek:TNG

But, you know what, I'm happy to be corrected on that, because I don't proclaim to be an expert on these things.

ensign is the flag of national indentity on a vessel,
on a UK registered civilian vessel it's a union jack as the top left quarter of a red flag. on an RN vessel I think it's the same but blue.
