/ˈflæɡʃɪp//ˈflæɡʃɪp/

The origin of the word "flagship" dates back to the 15th century. In the era of sail, a flagship was the largest and most powerful warship in a fleet, flying the flag of the commander-in-chief or the national flag. The flagship was always positioned at the head of the fleet and served as the central point of command. It carried the flag of the admiral or the country, signifying authority and leadership. Over time, the term "flagship" evolved to describe not only the largest and most powerful warship but also the flagship brand, which refers to the most prominent or well-known product or service of a company. Today, the term is widely used in various contexts, including business, technology, and even politics, often symbolizing leadership, dominance, and prestige.
