What is commonly known as the Union Jack, the flag of the United Kingdom, is actually only called the Union Jack when it is flown on the jackstaff on the bow of a Royal Naval ship. The correct name for the flag is the Union Flag. http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/static/pages/2168.html Apr 08 05, 5:16 PM

Another place where one might have made the distinction would be the American civil war, where the Confederate flag was known as the Union Jack, as opposed to the Union Flag in the north. Apr 09 05, 5:15 PM
