command vessel
Admiral's main ship
A command vessel is a ship designated as the headquarters for military or naval operations, housing commanding officers and the communications, planning, and coordination facilities needed to direct a fleet or mission.
The term appears primarily in military contexts and science fiction, where such vessels serve as mobile command centers.
The admiral directed the battle from the command vessel.
In gaming and fiction, command vessels are often flagship-class ships with enhanced tactical capabilities.
