What does Flagship mean?
Ok, I know a lot of you will look at this and ask yourself who is this idiot? Well, i am a young man and the only way to grow and learn is to first admit that you dont know and then ask so will somebody please try and make me understand what is meant when the phrase( Flagship Model) is used? Sorry for the worthless topic ladies and Gents!

It actually comes from military naval shipping.
The flagship carries the commander and is usually considered the pride of the fleet.

It's the Admiral of the fleets ship. All the others would obey the signal flags on this vessel. Hence Flagship, before the days of radio etc.
In the case of the ZX14, it means the top dog, head honcho, king of the road or whatever you like.
