According to Album des Pavillons 1990, there is no naval ensign in Vanuatu. Vanuatu only has a maritime police, with a plain white flag with the national flag in the canton as ensign. Encyclopaedia Universalis Yearbook, 1998, reports that Vanuatu has no army but a paramilitary force of circa 300 men.

The national flag is apparently "elongated" so that is fits into 1:2 canton.
I would suppose that this is accomplished by "extending" the stripes and leaving
the triangle just as in the national flag and not by "elongating" the triangle
too. However, such a subtle detail might not be prescribed at all.

This flag is according "Drapeaux et Insignes de Police dans le monde" (1993,
vol, 1) and also from "Des Nouvelles-Hebrides à Vanuatu" (1991), books that
wrote Michel Lupant and illustrated by the late Lucien Philippe.
If this is
correct, it seems that the flag has changed:
a) The flag with white emblem,
seems to be used in the police stations, and they are not the national arms in
white in the center, but the police emblem (that is based in the national arms,
but flanked by two wreaths of leaves). The police emblem has also a ribbon below
with the words "Vanuatu Police Force" but this ribbon IS NOT in the flag
b) The main
flag in the central headquarters bear the national arms, in full color, not the
police emblem

The flag with white police emblem (national arms + weath of leaves) cans be
more precisely seen here:

The coloured emblem, national arms only without wreath, seems to be in use
only as an inner version of the police flag:
