USS Flagg

The Original USS Flagg (CVN-99) was a straight-forward Nimitz-Class Supercarrier. Though there were minor discrepencies between the vehicle as shown on the series and the toy and the actual real-world Nimitz class, these are fairly minor and can easily be explained by relatively inattentive animators and a rush to get the toy in to production as quickly as possible.

In GI Joe: Resolute, the Flagg has apparently been extensively retrofitted to include a very pronounced prow and two extremely prominent catapults. The deck island design is now basically circular, and has been pushed partially off the deck in order to make more area for aircraft. While these changes are substantial, they are not unprecedented. The USS Enterprise aircraft carrier for instance had many structural elements of her deck and island changed in the late 1980s to bring her capabilities more in line with the newer Nimitz vessels. In fact, the new Flagg design is ever-so-slightly Anime flavored, and her bow is now similar to that of the aircraft carrier Askua from Macross: Zero.

As of Resolute, the Flagg appears to be serving as the supreme GI Joe Command Headquarters.
