Just a little bit more. The whole operation is being run off of the U.S.S. Mount Whitney which is designated as a Command and Control ship.

It is also the Flag Ship of the U.S. Fleet and a different concept from the past where Fleet Command would be based on standard Cruisers or Battleships.

Some Naval Purists hate the concept because it puts your entire senior command structure in one killable basket
