While it's lovely, I can't help but ask for the full "Kaiserliche und Koenigsliche" (with umlauts)  :D

How about a Royal Canadian Sky Fleet bar with the Blue Ensign?

The Royal Canadian Navy used the White Ensign, not the blue.

On March 3, 1911, the RCN was authorized the use of the White Ensign, which remained the main identifying flag of the navy for the next 54 years. At the same time, the Canadian Blue Ensign was designated the jack of the RCN.

While they did use the White Ensign, it doesn't hurt to have a seperate Canadian userbar with a blue one, right?  ;)

Pale blue? Sir, I'll have you know I hail from the second "gas-station town" west of Toronto, and I reject your pale blue! A tan reminiscent of maple syrup, that's what I'd salute! And a bright red RCEMP one! Eh!

Well I don't know about you easterners. I grew up in Hong Kong and we saluted pale blue 'till the communists took over and I moved to Canada!  :D

While Canada did use the Blue Ensign as the Naval Jack; Naval Jacks are not used when ships are underway and so I'm using the Naval Ensign on the userbars, not the Naval Jack.

In the mundane world, the Canadian ships put a green Maple Leaf on their forward funnel to distinguish themselves from the RN, but that didn't happen until World War I.

So at best, I'd add a green maple leaf a Canadian userbar ;)

I cant tell for certain, but it looks like you're using a modern US flag for the US Great White Fleet userbar.  Can I suggest a more period accurate '46 star' flag version?

The home of the brave and the free,
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
A world offers homage to thee"

I am using the correct flag for 1910, don't worry. ;)

Ah. I'll chalk it up to my aging eyesight then. That and tiny little stars.

You mean you actually tried to count the stars?!?

Bad Istal! You'll wreck your eyes doing something like that.  As I said, this is the correct, 46 starred flag; used from 1908 to 1912.
