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.
