According to Christian Fogd Pedersen’s Flaggor i färg, 1973 [ped73], the flag of the auxiliary fleet was dark blue with the naval flag in the canton. Adopted in 1924 and changed in 1935 (when the new naval flag was added).

I found in Understanding Soviet Naval Developments ([u9s81], a book released by the US Navy about the Soviet Navy) pictures of some (not all) Soviet Naval flags. One is the Auxilliary Pennant: It has the Soviet Naval Ensign on one end, and blue for the rest of the pennant.
Zachary Harden, 16 Nov 2000 and 17 Nov 2000

It is strange… Pennant of Auxiliary fleet… I doubt.

As far as I know in 1935 was adopted the broad-pennant of Head of Hydrographic Detachment. It was blue with a “badge”. But I think it was not used after WWII. The ensign of the Soviet Hydrographic Service was used until the downfall of USSR.

I was just at the local army/navy surplus store and saw this flag. It was sized about 2 by 3 feet (≅65 × 100 cm) and had the Soviet Navy ensign in the canton. The fly was originally a blue but had some purple fading. On the fly was what appeared to be a hard hat divers helmet and shoulders in black. The viewports on the side of the helmet are both covered with safety bars. Sort of like # only perpendicular. The center circle on the helmet is less bold but the same size. The white fields were in a light tan that could have been simply weathering of the cloth. It appeared to be wool. The color changes throughout the flag had bordering in shades of gray. All of the borders (fimbrilations) were about 1/2 cm wide. Those around all of the black image and inside of the circle were a very pale gray. The border of the blue field with the canton was a medium blue-gray. The border of the outside of the circle was a dark gray. There was no bordering on the edge of the flag itself, except the hoist reinforcement which was also in dark gray.
Kevin McNamara, 30 Dec 1998 and 02 Jan 1999

I have one of this in my collection, but it is about twice that size. It was billed as a search and rescue flag.
