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 '''[[wikipedia:Flagship|Flagship]]''' is a ship that commands operations in a [[Fleet]], not just a classification of ship and can sometimes even be an orbital platform. It can be any warship and is not restricted to any particular classification. This is the ship that houses the Commander of the Fleet/Armada/Battlegroup.  
==Overview==
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.


==Speculation==
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>
It is possible that Battlecruisers and Carriers are usually the Flagships of a Fleet or smaller unit structure.


==Known Flagships==
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>
=== [[Covenant]] ===
*''[[Seeker of Truth]]'': Unknown
*''[[Ascendant Justice]]'': Unknown, likely a [[Reverence-class Cruiser]]
*''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'': [[Covenant Supercarrier]]
*''[[Incorruptible]]'': Reverence-class Cruiser
*''[[Shadow of Intent]]'': [[Covenant Assault Carrier]]
*''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'': [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]]


=== [[UNSC]] ===
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.
