	Flag Officer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A flag officer generally has an officer, called Flag adjutant, attached to him as a personal Adjutant (not unlike an aide de camp) regardless of any staff under his command.
		The rank of Flag Officer was bestowed on senior Navy Captains who were assigned to lead a squadron of vessels in addition to command of their own ship.
		The 19th century rank of Flag Officer was considered strictly temporary and became obsolete upon the creation and wide spread usage of the equivalent naval rank of Commodore.
