• Page about naval insignia at the excellent site of Associação Nacional de Cruzeiros, quite well informed and researched — I wouldn’t be surprised if its author is some retired Navy officer. Apparently unchanged since 1997.

Portuguese ensign

As far as I know, the naval ensign (pavilhão nacional) of Portugal is the national flag (bandeira nacional).

Portuguese jack

Naval jack (jaco nacional or jaque nacional!). This is a 1:1 flag, red with a green border ¹/₈ wide and the sphere and shield in the center.

According to the ANC site Should be hoisted at the stern, from sunrise to sunset, only when the ship is docked or anchored.
