Because despite it looking like the english flag thats not what its based on.
In the good old days of galleons and pirates the ensign was different depending on which flotilla or squadron your ship was part of.
as for the union jack it won't exist for much longer as it will soon be banned by the PC brigade in case it offends foreigners and illegal immigrants.
