Are the IN ships still flying the naval ensign with the St George's Cross? I thought they had finally done way with that. It is there in the first pic on the RIB though. Somebody forgot to change the flag or is that an older pic perhaps?

I was thinking the same thing, I have seen pics of the new ensign in service maybe some ships are just late to take it up.
