It depends. If you are afloat or at a naval facility, half mast is correct, ashore and non navy means that the half staff is more correct. A few laws and lots of tradition dictate the showing of the national flag at anything but full height on the flag pole. There are even suggestions to show honor if the staff does not allow the raising and lowering of the flag.
