A flagship is a term referring to vessel commanded by a flag officer (an Admiral or similar). Typically it refers to a vessel that is also in command of other vessels, though it can just refer to a lone vessel under the command of a flag officer. In rare cases flagship can refer to a vessel that is equipped with the most advanced technology and the finest crew, a vessel that represents an organization as a whole. This use of the term was often applied to the USS Enterprise-D and continued with the USS Enterprise-E, despite the lack of a flag officer in command of either vessel.

  • A Flagship is a naval vessel which is commanded by an admiral. The vessels are called "flagships" because an admiral will have his own flag, which is flown from the ship he commands. Historically flagships were battleships, although the advent of air power has resulted in aircraft carriers being flagships. Flagships of a fleet are the best protected vessels, they are surrounded by a string of cruisers and destroyers designed to protect the ship from danger. The flagship itself will be large and powerful enough to withstand enemy fire to help maximize the chance of ship survival if it is stuck with enemy weaponry.
