[edit] Animated continuity

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.

[edit] Toys

A Real American Hero (1985) The USS Flagg was the largest G.I. Joe toy to ever come out, at the time of its 1985 release and still holds the record up till now. It measures about 7½ feet long and while it's not realistically scaled with actual aircraft carriers, still brought tons of fun for those who owned it. The toy includes a tow vehicle and an admiral's launch. The box art includes several Skystrikers and a Dragonfly. YoJoe.com page/Blueprint
