Command ship

Command ship

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 two command ships, USS Blue Ridge (LCC-19) and USS Mount Whitney (LCC-20), both of the purpose-built Blue Ridge class. The USS LaSalle (AGF-3) was decommissioned in March, 2005. The USS Coronado (AGF-11) was decommissioned and as of 30 September 2006, is currently waiting to be disposed of.
