A fifth rate is proposed as another admiral's flagship while more frigates are added to the force. The choice creates a separate command platform and leaves the heavy ships available for the line of battle. Within the campaign, admirals can be distributed among different parts of a mixed fleet. This in-game allocation does not establish a general rule about historical flagship practice.
