 * variant (optional) — Specifies an alternate (historical) naval flag to use. This parameter is documented by the appropriate template in Category:Country data templates.

Other related templates
The flagicon template can be used to display the naval flag by itself, using the <tt>naval</tt> variant as a template parameter:
 * <tt> </tt> →
 * <tt> 🇨🇳 </tt> → 🇨🇳
 * <tt> 🇯🇵 </tt> → 🇯🇵
 * <tt> </tt> →

Implementation notes
By default, this template shows the standard national flag for the selected country, following by a wikilink to "Country Navy". Both of these items can be changed by adding specific parameters to the appropriate <tt>country_data</tt> template (complete set found in Category:Country data templates).

To use a different flag, such as the naval ensign for the nation, use:
 * <tt>flag alias-naval = image name of naval ensign</tt>

To use a different name for the wikilinked navy article, use:
 * <tt>link alias-naval = article name</tt>
