I would say that the US is a very weird place, but then I remembered that this

is the flagship of the ~~British Navy~~ First British Sea Lord. She hasn't floated for literally 100 years.

So mostly I guess it's just that militaries are weird.

I somehow never considered that there were literal flagships.

The USS Enterprise (pretty much any of them, including nonfiction) have been flagships.
