Command ship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Command ships serve as the flagships of the Commander of a fleet. They provide communications, office space, and accommodations for a fleet commander and his staff, and serve to coordinate fleet activities. Currently, the United States Navy operates three command ships, the converted USS Coronado (AGF-11), and the purpose built Blue Ridge-class ships, USS Blue Ridge (LCC-19) and USS Mount Whitney (LCC-20). The USS LaSalle (AGF-3) was decommissioned in March, 2005.
