1st Navy Jack Flag - Don't Tread on Me
Conceived by Commodore Hopkins in 1775, the 1st Navy Jack was used as a signal to engage the enemy. It has 13 alternating red and white stripes with an uncoiled rattlesnake emblem and the motto "Don't Tread on Me." Since September 11, 2002, all U.S. Navy ships have been flying the 1st Navy Jack in the global war on terrorism.
Historical Navy Jack Flag Features
This authentic reproduction of the First Navy Jack displays the iconic uncoiled rattlesnake positioned across 13 alternating red and white stripes, representing the original American colonies. The bold "Don't Tread on Me" motto beneath the serpent emblem carries the same defiant message that inspired Revolutionary War naval forces.
Naval Heritage and Modern Service
Originally designed by Commodore Esek Hopkins as a signal flag for naval engagement, this historic banner returned to active service aboard all United States Navy vessels following September 11, 2002, symbolizing America's resolve in the global war on terrorism.
