The national flag of the Solomon Islands was adopted officially on November 18, 1977. The five main island groups are represented by the five stars.^[1] The blue is supposed to represent the surrounding ocean, while the green represents the land. The yellow stripe is symbolic of the sunshine.

The civil ensign^[2] (for merchant ships) and state ensign^[3] (for non-military government vessels) are red and blue flags, respectively, with the national flag in the canton. The naval ensign^[4] (for police vessels) is based on the British white ensign, a red cross on a white field, also with the national flag in the canton.
