A naval flag often indicating nationality (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ensign

(Other definitions for ensign that I've seen before include "Flag - junior American naval officer" , "US naval rank" , "Badge, flag" , "Soldier who carries the Colours" , "Junior US naval officer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
