Any Navy guys know these flags?

Supposedly, the original owner of my 79SC returned from the navy and bought what is now my Porsche. He put the following emblems on the rear bumper. Every owner since has left them, including me (even after replacing the bumper). They guy I bought the car from swore they brought him good luck...especially at evading tickets!

People ask me what they mean, and all I can say is that they came with the car. I just think they are cool and want to keep them, but I have no idea what these mean. Some kind of ship flags??

If I remember correctly, that was taken going Eastbound on 34 traveling from Estes Park to Loveland. Glad to see so many Colorado folks in this forum!
