The French patrol boat P675 “Arago” at the Capitaneria pier. The ship is flying two different tricolors: her own French flag from the stern and the Italian courtesy flag on the mast.The rule that no flag should be flown higher than the national flag does not apply on board a ship: a flag flown at the stern is always in a superior position to a flag flown elsewhere on the ship, even if the latter is higher up. (Flag etiquette, Wikipedia)
