This flag was lost to history. When the flag was finally struck from the flagstaff, it had holes in it from either gunfire or shrapnel or both, it was scorched around the edges, and it was stained with oil. Because of this, a junior officer did exactly what Navy regulations called for and submitted the flag for destruction while requisitioning a new one. Had this flag survived, perhaps it and not Commodore Perry’s flag would have been brought to Tokyo Bay for the surrender ceremonies in 1945.
