Where are award pennants flown?

Award pennants are flown from the aft halyard of a ship. This practice serves as a visible recognition of accomplishments and honors received by the vessel or crew. The aft location allows for the pennants to be seen by those approaching the ship from behind and can symbolize the proud achievements of the crew in a ceremonial manner.

The other options refer to different locations on a ship where other types of flags or pennants may be displayed, but they are not designated specifically for award pennants. The aft halyard is traditionally used for this purpose, making it the correct choice in this context.
