| A '''flagship''' is a title designated to the command vessel in a given [[fleet]].{{Ref/Book|Id=encyc2011 pg276|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)]]|Section=<nowiki>Covenant Ship</nowiki>|Page=276}} Flagships can also be designated as the commanding ship for an entire faction.{{Ref/Book|Id=en|Enc22|Page=461}}{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Song}} | | A '''flagship''' is a warship used by the [[commanding officer]] of a [[fleet]] or [[battle group]]. It can be any warship and is not restricted to any particular classification; however, it is typically one of the largest ship types within the fleet, such as a [[cruiser]] or a [[carrier]], even an orbital platform. The purpose of a flagship is often for command and control. |

| ==Overview==
| | Flagships in the [[UNSC]] tends to be [[cruiser]]s or [[carrier]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 261''</ref> Although, in smaller fleets, a [[frigate]] or [[destroyer]] may be the flagship. In the [[Covenant fleet]], flagships tend to be {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s or {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s in the typical fleet. However, in [[battle group]]s, the flagship may be a cruiser or, rarely, a destroyer.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 276''</ref> In the larger fleets, the flagship will often be a {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level, ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> |
| Flagships in the [[UNSC]] tends to be [[cruiser]]s or [[carrier]]s,<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 261''</ref> although, in smaller fleets, a [[frigate]] or [[destroyer]] may be the flagship. In the post-war period the UNSC's overall flagship is considered to be the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, an {{Class|Infinity|supercarrier}} and humanity's largest and most powerful ship. | |
| | |
| In the [[Covenant fleet]], flagships tend to be {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s or {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s in the typical fleet. However, in [[battle group]]s, the flagship may be a cruiser or, rarely, a destroyer.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 276''</ref> | |
| | |
| In a couple of smaller flotillas the flagships were [[intrusion corvette]]s. In one case, the flotilla, made up entirely of corvettes, belonged to the [[Silent Shadow]] and was used for their operations. In the second instance, the flotilla, again made up of corvettes aside from a single [[Covenant frigate]], was a rogue faction.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'''</ref> | |
| | |
| In the [[Covenant remnants]], the flagships, at least in the smaller groups, tend to be cruisers or in the case of the [[Kig-Yar pirate queen]] and [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group]], {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}}s. Only the larger groups such as the [[Banished]], [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and [[Sali 'Nyon's Covenant]] have assault carriers as their flagships.
