The
Jolly Roger
Lieutenant Commander
(later Admiral Sir) Max Horton first flew the Jolly Roger-two
flags in fact- on return to harbour after sinking the German cruiser
Hela and the destroyer S-116 in 1914; but the Black Flag of old-time
pirates was not generally flown by submarines, to show their successes,
until the Second World War.
