Empress

The Empress, flagship of Captain Sao Feng.

"There you are with two ships. The makings of your own fleet. You'll take the grandest as your flagship, and who's to argue?"
Jack Sparrow to Hector Barbossa[src]

A flagship was a vessel used by the commanding officer of a group of naval ships, reflecting the custom of its commander, flying a distinguishing flag. Used more loosely, it was the lead ship in a fleet of vessels, typically the first, largest, fastest, most heavily armed, or best known.

History[]

During the War Against Piracy, the HMS Endeavour was the flagship of Lord Cutler Beckett's Armada.[1] Prior to the final stand of the Brethren Court, the Black Pearl served as the flagship of the Pirate Armada to lead the attack.[2] The Queen Anne's Revenge was Blackbeard's flagship until his death during the quest for the Fountain of Youth,[3] after which it became the flagship of Hector Barbossa's fleet between 1750 and 1751.[4]
