It's actually a "1" in maritime flag signals. The entire message denotes "RU1" but I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

Sol, thats not the national Jack. It's a International Code of Signals flags.
If I am reading this right it reads from top to bottom Romeo (Red Flag Yellow Cross), Uniform ( Red and White Checkered), one.( Red dot on a triangular shaped flag)

Since about Three of Us caught that easily.
Even on Carriers an Naval shipping. For Naval Shipping the nationality and service is visible in the Form of a naval Jack or Naval Ensign. this is a unique flag sometimes a variation of the national Flag. the confusion in this case is clear. a red sun on a white banner is the official flag of the State of Japan. However that would not be worn as by a JMSDF ship. the JMSDF official Naval Ensign is a Variation of the Rising sun flag but with the star slightly off center. its the same as the Naval Ensign of the old Imperial Japanese Navy. I am not going to post a image as it will only spark a flame war and drag us farther off topic.

"RU1" stands for "I am carrying out maneuvering trials."

Damn. I was hoping for something more sinister, like "Feeling lucky, punk?"

I'll reply.
Looking at the pics of 586 vs 585 on the link provided, I do see the bridge on 586 having the extended ceiling. So does this mean 586 has the TAS opening in the back? If not, then the earlier pics we saw here on the new hull with the TAS opening does not exclusively have the extended ceiling. It would mean they already had that prior to the hull with the TAS opening and both developments aren't necessarily interdependent.
... and after that, people started to talk about Type 056 again
I'm learning all these abbreviations ... correct, joshuatree?
