In 1912, two stars were added, representing Arizona and New Mexico bringing the total number of stars to 48, arranged in 6 rows of 8 stars each. There were thirteen stripes representing the thirteen original colonies. There were 48 star flags manufactured with the rows of stars off-set.
The first flag raised was an ensign from the USS Missoula measuring 28" x 54". The second flag was an ensign from the LST-779 measuring 56"x 96".
