U.S. Navy / NATO Senior Officer Present Afloat (SOPA) & Starboard Pennant Assembly – Custom 3D Printed Miniature Accessory Parts Pieces for Brick Block Figures

Item Name / Model: Miniature U.S. Navy / NATO Senior Officer Present Afloat (SOPA) & Starboard Pennant Assembly Item Type: Handheld Accessory / Building Block Figure Prop

Item Description: This is a single custom-crafted accessory assembly designed specifically for building block figures and historical or modern naval dioramas. The item is a highly detailed, miniature replica of the official U.S. Navy and NATO Starboard Signal Pennant (which serves as the Senior Officer Present Afloat [SOPA] Pennant), mounted on a pole.

• Flag Component: The flag piece consists of a rectangular printed tile featuring a green-white-green triangular pennant design on a white background. The pennant is divided vertically into three sections: a green hoist section, a white center section, and a tapering green fly end. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this specific naval signal design.

• Hardware & Fit: The flag piece is firmly secured to a standard cylindrical black flagpole using two specialized black clip attachments. The diameter of the black pole is perfectly scaled to snap securely into the C-shaped hand of a standard building block character, allowing a figure to hold it as an official standard or signal bearer. (Note: The square black base plate shown at the bottom acts as a display stand and can be easily detached so the figure can actively carry the pole in your brick scenes).

Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the Senior Officer Present Afloat (SOPA) Pennant, which uses the standard NATO “Starboard” signal pennant design. In naval tradition and international maritime protocols, when two or more naval vessels are moored together in port, the ship carrying the highest-ranking officer flies the green-white-green SOPA pennant from the starboard main yardarm. This indicates to all other ships in the harbor which vessel holds overall command afloat. Standardized within NATO and the U.S. Navy, this signal pennant remains an essential part of modern naval visual communications and harbor protocol. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic warship deck scenes, naval harbor command posts, or building block maritime fleet dioramas.
