I recently noticed that the Light Frigate (model 2) has an ensign flying from the back of it. Naturally this thrilled me. But, why do the other ships have no ensigns at all. Why does a light frigate (or super corvette if you wish to call it that) have an ensign but bigger, stronger more powerful ships don't. Moreover, why is the ensign incorrect? Really, this is a British flag:

and this is a British ensign

Is it not possible to have a nation's flag flying from your mainmast, and the proper ensign on the stern?
