  Command Ships
USS CORONADO was redesigned as a command ship (AGF) in 1980.
USS CORONADO serves as the command ship for the Commander, United States THIRD Fleet; as his command ship, USS CORONADO's mission is to be ready to take the Fleet Commander and his staff to sea to provide onscene command of operational forces, as required, throughout the Pacific.
As a proof of concept for MSC ship operations of command ships, the CNO and Commander of Pacific Fleet agreed to transfer the Third Fleet command ship, USS Coronado, to MSC in Nov 2003.

 ROBOTECH: Zentraedi Naval Vessels - Nupetiet Vergnitzs-class Fleet Command Ship   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Duty on such a ship as a staff officer was often the prelude to an assignment as commanding officer of a smaller flotilla.
Almost one out of three fleet command ships had fallen prey to the mass defections that formed the most dangerous part of the crisis, and the other ships were immediately at the forefront on the ensuing war.
In addition to their combat and command taskings, the class also often served as a tender for the smaller vessels such as the Tou Redir class, which could not carry that many supplies, and often transferred some of the command ships' stores to replenish their won.

 Zentraedi Ship Formations
Although some ships rarely travel alone, such as the Nupetiet Vergnitzs flagship, others, such as the Tou Redir scout ship, are often encountered alone, detached from their parent formation.
The concept behind the command ship was that it could separate and leave the majority of the ship behind, while the forward ship would get much closer to an enemy to provide additional cover for the Zentraedi forces.
Where a company commander would be given a specific task or mission to perform, a battalion commander would be given a list of objectives and would be expected to create their own battle plans to achieve their objectives.

 ROBOTECH: Zentraedi Naval Vessels - Queadol Magdomilla-Luhoutzs class Task Force Command Ship   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
These ships were built at numerous locations throughout the Robotech Mercantile Empire from 1268 through 1809 and on board the Zentraedi Factory Satellite from 1807 through 2009.
As a fleet command ship the Queadol Magdomilla excelled due to its roomy command facilities and high flank acceleration, while it was of course the vehicle of choice (barring availability of a Nupetiet-Vergnitzs) during planetary assaults.
Although numerous Queadol Magdomilla-Luhoutzs ships survived the fighting, those that didn't leave the system with non-assimilated Zentraedi were among the first vessels drained of whatever protoculture remained and placed in reserve.

 Joint Command Ship (JCC)
Although the aging of current command ships is the catalyst for considering a replacement capability, any replacement will operate in a much different world than the one that existed when these ships were built.
The new vessels, initially designated Joint Command Ships (JCC(X)) or Joint Forces Command and Control ship, would replace the four existing command ships, which range in age from 30 to 36 years.
Near term ship targets include but are not limited to DD21, CG 21, JCC(X), and LH(X), with potential application to future flights of LPD 17.

The ship was commanded by Wedge Antilles' childhood nemesis Captain Loka Hask, a former pirate responsible for the manslaughter of Antilles' parents.
The command tower of this ship is situated prominently near the middle of the dorsal hull.

 Queadol Magdomilla Class Command Ship
The solution was to build two ships, one with the means to carry out planetary assaults and command duties and one to haul the large engines, mecha complement, fold drive and other equipment that were not required for the assault task.
The rear portion of the command ship was an amphibious assault ship and had the majority of the command ship's mecha, but the forward section was considered a light assault ship and had the most powerful of the command ship's weapons.
As a fleet command ship the Queadol Magdomilla excelled due to its roomy command facilities and high flank acceleration, while it was of course the vehicle of choice (barring availability of a Nupetiet Vergnitzs Flagship) during planetary assaults.

Ships today are extremely expensive and are being increasingly managed and operated managed with zero tolerance for errors.
Furthermore, shipping today is rather overregulated and various agencies are constantly visiting ships for inspections and re-inspections to ensure compliance with these regulations.
The reduction in ships' complements and the presence of multi-nationals on board require senior shipboard staff, especially the master, to possess not only professional competence but also excellent personnel management qualities.

The Zentreadi Command ship is perhaps the most unique battleships in all of the Zentreadi fleet.
If the ships in the fleet were designed after organic creatures, this ship would be a barracuda or an alligator mixed with a stingray.
The forward section of the ship can seperate from the drive section for high speed pursuit and combat, and the drive section, while losing the main anti-ship weapons, can battle for itself with its impressive array of lasers and missiles.

In addition to her sophisticated command and control system, an extremely refined communications system is also an integral part of the ship's radical new design.

 Imperial Fleet: Devastator- class Advanced Command Ship
The Devastator had been crippled during an engagement with a combined Federation/Amazon fleet near Borussh, and towed back to Kuat Drive Yards to be decommisioned due to the severity of the damage.A small army of engineers stripped away the damaged sections, laying the vessel open to her keel, and went to work.
It was also the second-most expensive;the final cost of the finished product was seriously in excess of allocated funds and nearly caused the project to be abandoned several times.Only an Imperious class Command Ship costs the Empire more to build, and as a result a strict limit was placed on their numbers.
The Devastator -class Advanced Command Ship packs a staggering array of turbolaser firepower, more so than even the massive Imperious class.The Devastator class is unique among capital starships of the Empire in that it mounts Heavy Space Rocket launchers in addition to the standard Advanced Proton/Concussion mix.
