What is the Jack staff on a navy ship?
The jack staff on a Navy vessel is essentially a flag pole on the bow of vessel. Unlike the National Ensign (country flag) which flies on the stern flag staff of most ships (on the bridge while underway surfaced on a submarine), the jack staff flies a flag literally called a Jack. Over the years of Navy history, there have been many Navy Jacks flown from the Jack Staff; the current Jack ("Don't Tread On Me" flag) was ordered flown after the 9/11 attacks, replacing the traditional Jack, which was the field of blue with 50 stars (modern), or in years past, a field of blue with stars for every state in the Union. It is this flag from which the term "Union Jack" comes from.
