The USS George Washington is the biggest fleet in the US Navy, which tends towards smaller classes like frigates due to their low cost. It is the flagship of the US fleet and is commanded by the Admiral-in-chief. It has a good history since it was bought in 1795, including 5 British ships sunk and 14 captured.
