:::The problem is that it doesn't really fit ANY traditional definition of warship. It's not a battleship, it's not a carrier, and it's not strictly a troopship.

:"Command vessel" is probably the most apt term with the information we've been given. It serves as the flagship for both Fleet Command and its own escort squadrons of cruisers and frigates, not to mention the ten escorts embarked within her hull. In all actuality however, ''Everest'', Cole's flagship, and modern-day command vessels are either modified cruisers or ships designed specifically for the role. Given that ''Infinity'' can embark her own escorts, dozens of strike fighter and Marine multi-role squadrons, and thousands in Marine and Spartan landing forces, I would actually label her as an "assault carrier" in the vain of the former Covenant's ''CAS''-class. But I agree with Sitari, ''battlestar'' is the best term. :P {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | |||
