[edit] Flagship?

Does 1SL have a flagship, as 2SL has HMS Victory? --172.142.135.74 03:47, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Not that I am aware of. In times of war a 1st sea lord has taken to sea aboard a ship but this hasnt happended since the first world war. Because of its mainly strategic and planning role the 1st sea lord is based at admiralty. LordHarris 10:34, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
