Technically, the flagship of the RN is HMS Victory. Although now over 200 years old and in dry dock in Portsmouth harbour as a historic ship, it remains the oldest ship in commission and is the formal address for the Second Sea Lord.

As such, it is the most senior ship in the Navy (and all naval ships salute it as they pass).

The Vessel that contains the Admiral is the flagship.

Example: During the Battle of Tsushima on 27 May 1905, amongst the ten or so Russian battleships, were four brand new Borodino class (tumblehome hulled) battleships; all nearly identical, mounting four 12-inch guns in two turrets apiece. Even though they all were the same, and all looked nearly alike, Admiral Rozhestvensky rode the Kziaz Suvorov (Prince Suvorov); only his flag upon the battleship distinguished it from the other three Borodinos. The Prince Suvorov was the flagship of the Russian Battleship Fleet.

If he had changed his mind, and rode in a tiny destroyer (which also accompanied the battleships that day), that tiny destroyer would've been the flagship.

There is not one US Navy flagship; there are two:

US Naval Forces Europe (USNAVEUR) Sixth Fleet - USS Mount Whitney (LCC-20)

US Pacific Fleet (USPACFLT) Seventh Fleet - USS Blue Ridge (LCC-19)

There are six active fleets in the US Navy in 2012:

  • Third
  • Fourth
  • Fifth
  • Sixth
  • Seventh
  • Tenth

Only two, the Sixth and Seventh, have permanently assigned ships deployed and required the command structure of a flagship. Ships of the other fleets are routinely assigned to duties of the other fleets, during which time, command for these ships is transferred.
