This lighter was found in the Radio Room of the USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (DD-850) in the 1980's. Bill McMillian spoke with Vice Admiral G.E. Miller, USN (Ret.), who told him that he gave many of these lighters away when he was commander of the 2nd Fleet.

Luiz Brazil Cotta sent the following information: The flag at the top of the lighter is the Vice Admiral Flag and the insignia at the bottom of the lighter is the insignia of the Second Fleet US Navy.
