The Commodore Perry Flag is the 15-star, 15-stripe U.S. flag that flew during the War of 1812, notably under Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 1813. The flag’s design represented the 15 states at the time, and Perry’s victory turned the tide of the war in the Northwest. The flag, now at the U.S. Naval Academy, symbolizes American naval heroism and the Union’s resilience.
